Fabulous Georgian Pinchbeck muff chain with a hand clasp set with colored paste stones. Christopher Pinchbeck developed an alloy of copper and zinc in 1720 that had the look of real gold and did not tarnish.

This chain measures 49" long by 1/4" wide.

The links of the chain are embossed with textural dots...
