Here we have an Antique Blacksmith Made, Forged Wrought Iron, Short 'Braided Looped' Chain, 30"Long. This an amazing piece of Blacksmith work !! The links were made to connect in a nested, interlocking fashion such that it looks like a braided rope ! I don't know what it was used for but the round loop at one end is thin on one edge where it obviously wore against another piece of metal. Maybe it was used to hold a cooking pot in a large hearth ?&nbs...p; The opposite end has two large loops that show no wear. A very interesting chain **Please remember to leave Feedback. I will gladly reciprocate. :-)
