FAQs

A chatelaine purse is a small bag designed to be suspended from a chatelaine, a decorative belt hook worn at the waist, which held essential everyday tools and accessories.

These purses were traditionally constructed from interlocking metal rings forming a flexible knitted or woven mesh, often mounted onto a solid metal frame with a clasp.

Authentic pieces typically feature hallmark stamps on the frame, indicating the assay office, year of manufacture, and the silversmiths registered makers mark.

Such items can be displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet, mounted in a shallow shadow box frame, or placed delicately on a surface tray alongside other vintage curiosities.

Preservation involves storing the item in a dry, tarnish-inhibiting environment and gently dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid dips that can damage delicate links.
