SOLD Antique Imperial Russian Solid Silver And Cloisonné Enamel Chain Belt

This is a magnificent antique chain belt from Imperial Russia, crafted around 1900 AD. The belt is formed of 30 baluster-shaped links that are expertly crafted with solid silver and adorned with intricate filigree designs. The domed tops of each link are elegantly embellished with blue and white cloisonné enamel, adding a touch of color to the silver chain. The filigree designs on each link are incredibly detailed, displaying exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. 
The 30 links are connected by 30 rings, carefully crafted to ensure a secure connection between the links. The belt is fitted with an oval closure loop that is made en suite with the belt links, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the belt. 
This antique chain belt is not only a beautiful piece of jewelry but also a historical artifact that speaks to the craftsmanship and artistic expression of Imperial Russia. Its intricate designs and high-quality materials make it a unique and valuable addition to any collection of antique jewelry.
The belt is unmarked, but it was acid-tested as 875-grade purity silver. It was most likely custom-made, in one example, for a special order.
