1870s European Geometric Niello Pocket Watch Chain

This pocket watch chain, crafted in Europe around the 1870s, is made of sterling silver and gold-plated sterling silver, featuring niello decoration. The niello links are richly structured, with the outer edge showcasing a regular striped pattern. This is followed by a border with fine engravings, and the central rectangular base features double-sided designs of several slightly raised, connected circles. The overall form is orderly yet reveals layered variations, with a subtle twist in its contours that adds a more three-dimensional depth. The connecting loops continue the golden hue of the geometric decoration and the twisted structure, creating a visually cohesive and fluid effect that maintains a crisp design rhythm. The piece is in good antique condition, displaying normal oxidation and signs of wear. There is minor loss to some of the niello decoration and plating. This is a century-old antique accessory, not a brand new item.
