Description : Designed for a chatelain, this exquisite sterling silver handmade repousse business case is in excellent condition. A chatelain literally translated from the French word, means chain. Linked to a belt, it is designed to carry useful household objects, like thimbles, scissors, and keys. Who doesn't need one? A jewelry item with a functional use is always a good idea. This card case is hand fabricated using sheets of sterling silver, that are formed and textured with a design using the repousse technique of reverse hammering to produce a positive image. The scrollwork is typical of the Victorian era, and the interior is gilded with gold. The closure is fashioned at an angle, and hinged to open. This is extremely difficult to do by hand, and yet over 100 years old, it works today perfectly. A great way to carry a few of your business cards, with a jump ring to hang on a chain for convenience. Item Number : P8222 Category : MISC.. Brand : CF
