Sold 29 October 2026 · In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors
This “Edwardian Silver Coin Purse Chatelaine” found a buyer.

It was listed by In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A lovely antique silver coin purse on a chain, probably made to be attached to a lady's chatelaine. It is decorated with a lovely engraved scrolling pattern around a central cartouche engraved with initials WJ. It has a fitted brown leather lining with three sections.

The hallmark is slightly rubbed but it can be read as Birmingham, 1909 and the maker William Oliver. It weighs approximately 50g.

It is in good condition for its age. There are some signs of age and use and some small dinks and light surface marks but nothing detrimental and no major damages. The interior is clean and tidy. It has been cleaned and gently polished and overall it displays very well.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

This Edwardian silver coin purse chatelaine displays a detailed engraved scrolling pattern across its surface, surrounding a central cartouche with the initials WJ. The rectangular purse hangs from a linked chain attached to a circular suspension ring, and fastens with a small top catch. The silver has a reflective metallic finish with visible light surface marks and minor dinks from use. Inside, the fitted brown leather lining is divided into three sections. Hallmarks are stamped on the exterior near the edge, indicating the Birmingham assay office, the year 1909, and the maker William Oliver. Measuring 4 cm high and 6 cm wide, this compact accessory weighs 50g. It functions today as a decorative collector's piece or a display item on a vanity table, shelf, or in a cabinet. Alternatively, the ring attachment allows it to be suspended from a belt or chatelaine as a historical fashion accessory.
