    A Chatelaine - a convenient mobile storage solution.

    Presumably Victorian. IMG_20210221_115039_compress22.jpg IMG20210221114229_compress0.jpg IMG20210221114235_compress6.jpg

    Love the little rabbits. Are there any marks?

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

    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. IMG20210221114342_compress94.jpg IMG20210221114349_compress21.jpg

    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.

    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.
