Featured Chatelaine in silver

A Chatelaine - a convenient mobile storage solution.

Presumably Victorian.

 

Hahahaha

 

Love the little rabbits. Are there any marks?

 

No markings at all on this one. And yes, the rabbits are cute.

 

That would go very nicely with this.

 

It would be marvellous to locate a variety of suitable silver implements of around the same date. I'm sure that some could be found. The 'Silver Rabbits' may have some significance, as they are breed of rabbit which were raised & used for its meat and fur. The classical lady figure could be Britannia?

@moreotherstuff Those cartoon pics are hilarious!

 

It has a Hanau (Germany) look, and the silver looks like it could be in the 800s range, like German silver.

 

I've just noticed the "little alien" between the 2 rabbits! A monkey or a sprite perhaps? A lucky emblem or charm?

 

This chainmail bag has always been together with the chatelaine. I expect they had the same owner originally.

 

Lovely. Love the little scalloped skirt.
No marks either?

 

The "frame" of the bag may have marks on it inside (visible only when the bag is open.)

 

No marks on this one either. And it is very difficult to keep from being tarnished. You can clean it, but it goes very quickly.

 

That's a fantastic piece. You have some beautiful antiques.

 

@moreotherstuff, I would probably KILL ‘Edward’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank you. I have been fortunate enough to have had some nice things come my way.

 

I've a bag like that with wee sapphire cabochons on the clasp. I am a sucker for evening bags.

I don't think your bag went with the chatelaine, it's the wrong style and too big.

 

I have a few silver Chatelains and mine are all hallmarked ....
I'm pretty sure silver Chatelaines were always hallmarked.

 

I vote for fairie.
