Description

This is an antique Victorian-era chatelaine set crafted primarily in sterling silver, featuring three classic accessories suspended from fine chains: a miniature notebook, a mechanical pencil, and a coin holder. Designed to hang from a belt or waistband, chatelaines were both practical and decorative, and this example is a wonderful surviving accessory from the late 19th century.

The notebook contains six reusable pages, typical of the period, and is fitted with a smooth hinged cover. The mechanical pencil remains intact but is currently empty of lead. The coin holder is silver plated, with a rounded form that complements the other pieces. All three items are attached to a single ring at the top, allowing the set to be worn or displayed together.

The entire chatelaine measures approximately 8 inches long. The maker is unknown, with no visible hallmark noted.

Condition: Good antique condition overall, with surface wear, light scratches, and patina consistent with age and use. The notebook pages remain usable, the chains are intact, and all components hang securely. Please note the pencil will require lead to function and the coin holder shows typical wear to the plating (see photos for details).
