Silver Tone Chatelaine Mesh Coin Purse
A charming piece of turn-of-the-century design, this antique silver-tone chatelaine coin purse is as decorative as it is collectible. The Art Nouveau frame features graceful scrollwork and an ornate floral motif, opening to a delicately constructed chainmail pouch adorned with three pointed tassels. Originally worn clipped at the waist or belt as part of a Victorian or Edwardian chatelaine set, this miniature purse now makes a unique accessory or striking collector’s display piece. Stamped "G. SIL," likely referencing silver-plated construction, this piece carries both beauty and historical appeal. the closure is secure, there is some visible wear. Overall a great antique coin purse!
