1901 British Antique Sterling Silver Chatelaine Glasses Case Hilliard and Thomason

We are pleased to present an antique British sterling silver chatelaine case.

A chatelaine is a type of accessory worn by ladies and worn on the waist by inserting it into the belt.
Women's clothes at the time did not have pockets, so they carried pens, sewing tools, and other items in these pockets.

This is a 1901 work by Hilliard & Thomason of Birmingham, England.
The entire piece is decorated with pierced earrings, and the combination of silver and the black fabric inside is beautiful.
It's too narrow to fit modern glasses, but I think it would fit thin items like scissors or a comb.

We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you.
