RARE Antique Silk Sewing Chatelaine
This lovely early twentieth century chatelaine is in excellent condition for being made of silk, perhaps tucked away in a drawer and never used? The color is a light lavender pink, and it is all original. The silk is handpainted with what appears to be sprigs of white wisteria. There is a thimble holder with ivory clips to tighten the top, a scissor sheathe with original scissors marked "Made in Japan", and a heart shaped pin disc. The scissor sheathe is 4 inches long, the thimble holder is approximately 2 and 1/4 by 2 and 1/2 inches, and the heart pin disc is approximately 2 and 1/4 inches. The silk wrapped bangle is approximately 3 and 1/2 inches in diameter. In superb condition.
