Chatelaine With Amphora In Gold, Enamel And Pearls, 19th Century
Royal blue enameled gold chatelaine composed of a pair of gold link chains framing a third with diamond patterns set with four fine pearls. The three chains are attached to a semi-circular pattern set with pearls and enamel. Below this pattern, two enameled gold chain pompoms crowned with pearls and two diamond pattern chains set with pearls holding an amphora enameled blue with fine pearls.
Gold hallmarks: eagle's head.
Weight: 49 g
Some chips to the enamel which have been restored.
This type of chatelaine or equipage was placed in the 18th and 19th century on the front of the dress and did not necessarily include a watch but was a fashion accessory. Several chatelaines could be featured there, as evidenced by the portrait of Queen Marie-Antoinette walking with her two children in the park at Trianon painted by Adolf Ulrik Wertmüller, 1785. However, a watch could also be hung on the upper hook. .
