Additional information

An articulated chatelaine in the taste of the 18th century, consisting of several cartouches in multi-tone gold centred on chased oval medallions. Chased country trophies featuring gardener's tools, hats, doves, dogs, quivers, baskets and garlands of flowers and leaves give this set a hymn to love and nature. On either side of the central cartouche, two chains repeating the flower motif end in a winding key and a blank seal. Missing central watch hook. A gold chain and safety pin, vermeil back clasp. In a case made by Molgatini Frères in Orléans, with the lid stamped with a marquis crown surmounted by the numeral S.V (very worn).
Goldsmith's hallmark: Auguste Perette, active in Paris between 1856 and 1910 
Hallmark: eagle's head 
Hallmark: boar's head (for the clasp)
