About the Item
Chatelaines are decorative and useful waist-hung items that are both practical and decorative, which recreate the concept of the medieval chatelaine or lady of the castle wearing her keys at her waist. An extraordinary range is illustrated and described in detail with 300 in colour and 190 black
white illustrations for watches, fans, purses, perfume bottles, keys and spectacles. The period in the mid to late 19th century was when the fashion was at its peak and this comprehensive work will be of great interest to both jewelry and fashion historians.
