Description: | A chatelaine would have been worn attached to the waist of a woman's dress to hold items that she might need during the day. This example has a main `etui' to hold small items, such as tweezers or scissors, and two bonbonnieres. These are all attached to an enamelled gilt clasp. The containers are covered in pink enamel with white raised decoration and have reserved panels. The panels on the bonbonnieres are painted with miniature landscapes, whilst those on the etui contain paintings of peacocks and game birds.
