Antique Brass Tone Filigree Vintage Victorian Necklace Pendant, Victorian Sewing Kit Necklace, Needle Case, Chatelaine Sewing Kit, Chatelaine Needle Case. Sewing kit and needle case chatelaine made into a necklace pendant. The perfect accessory for the Seamstress or Antique lover! A chatelaine is a hook the 'lady of the house' used to wear in Victorian times on her belt- this would have chains attached with useful household items like scissors, mini sewing kit, watch, pencil etc. There is extremely beautiful detailing on the casing. The lid opens to reveal a thimble and an inner wooden spool with thread and is topped with a brass cap. Open up the cap to reveal an inner chamber in the wooden spindle which stores needles and pins. Absolutely beautiful and such a treasure for a collector! This is a rare piece. This comes with its original contents and there was a newer Safety pin inside, so do be careful when you open it up. It's in good condition for its age which is over 100 years, with no dents, only some metal discoloration which is visible in the photos. Add this to a chain to make a necklace or keep it as an antique.
