The main part of the Albertina is made of intricately woven black thread - I wondered if this was woven hair, either human or horse hair in memoriam. However, the woven section feels too smooth and soft to be hair and I think it may be fine silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA detailed pinchbeck woman's hand is threaded on the end nearest the T-bar for a buttonhole. The hook clasp at the other end is really unusual as the screw on fastener secures the hook in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a length of about 13 inches, so can be wound around twice as a bracelet as well as used as a decorative watch chain. It is in good vintage condition - please check all photos carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63607177249098,"sku":null,"price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/2424\/4042\/files\/2026-07-0816.37.21.jpg?v=1789848655","url":"https:\/\/alicelily.co.uk\/products\/antique-victorian-black-woven-abertina-watch-chain-with-hand-motif-and-t-bar","provider":"Alice Lily","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
