Gold pocket watch chain with carnelian – Austria-Hungary
Gold pocket watch chain, made of 14k rose gold at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Two natural carnelian plates are set in a rectangular pendant with a richly decorated frame. One of them depicts a cameo with a contemporary popular motif of a soldier with a helmet. The piece is marked with the Austro-Hungarian hallmark “fox” with the letter A (hallmarked in Vienna) and a less legible master mark, probably “SB”. The total length of the chain is 35 cm.
