What is this Victorian? Pencil and Notebook Pendant Called

I am guessing this is Victorian, is that correct? Also what is the correct name for something like this? It is about 1 1/2"x2".

TIA, Bryan

 

Part of a chatelaine

 

What is missing?
and is it victorian?

 

Also would that be considered a Nymph?

 

Here's the definition of a chatelaine. There would have been any number of things on the chain - keys, a small watch, thimble, etc.

A chatelaine is a decorative belt hook or clasp worn at the waist with a series of chains suspended from it. Each chain is mounted with useful household appendages such as scissors, thimbles, watches, keys, vinaigrette, and household seals.[1]

Chateleine bags refer to bags suspended from a waistband by cord or chain, which were popular from the 1860s to the end of the 19th century.[2]

Chatelaines were worn by many housekeepers in the 19th century[3] and in the 16th century Dutch Republic,[citation needed] where they were typically used as watch chains for the most wealthy. Similar jewelry was also worn by Anglo-Saxon women, as seen from the burial record, but their function is uncertain. The name chatelaine derives from the French term châtelaine and was originally used disparagingly, as it referred to a device designed to have all the tools necessary for the woman of the household to sort out any problem she may encounter in her day, like a fraying curtain.

Ancient Roman women wore chatelaines with ear scoops, nail cleaners, and tweezers.[4] Women in Roman Britain wore 'chatelaine brooches' from which toilet sets were suspended.[5]

 

I'm fairly certain the nymph, or fairy, is from a famous painting, but it escapes me at the moment.

 

here is a page of images of full chatelaines

White Rock ginger ale, anyone????

 

Aide memoir? (The spelling of "memoir" may need an "e" at the end.)

 

Dance card?

 

I thought of dance card, but it looks more like a chatelaine note pad to me. It even has numbers on it.

And now I've found it for $165. Don't know if it'll sell for that, but worth trying.

It's an Aide Memoire.
I believe Carnet De Bal is also correct.

 

I was going to state hang in there for Ivy but there she is.

 

Blablablablablablablabla...

It is Victorian.

It is called an Aide de Memoir, or an Aide Memoir. Usually made of silver or silver-plate, celluloid, or paper or ivory. They served as little notepads for you to write memos in (hence 'aide memoir').

They were made for men and women. If it has a ring on it, then it would've hung from a chatelaine, but there were plenty which did not. They were pretty common and were made of copper, brass, silver, and silver-plate. I have three which are made entirely of ivory.

 

I would say it is Late Victorian, considering that the painting the decoration is based on was painted in 1893. Give it a year or two to become "popular" and you have a 1895-96 production date, at the earliest.

 

just wanted to thank all of you for your help

 

This one is clearly post 1970
