eyeglass chatelaine

[madamemodiste]

Whoo hoo! On my "holy grail of accessories" list was a Victorian eyeglass chatelaine. Unfortunately, in antique shops and on Ebay, they have been running $100-$200 even when missing the lining or chain.

Check out what I just won on Ebay for $19.99. Lined in velvet.



The glasses are not part of the auction, but just there to show what style glasses will fit. I believe our repro Victorian sunglasses will fit.

I'm still on the lookout for a bargain on an aide memoire chatelaine.

That's lovely! And it looks very well made. Is it sterling?

Probably not sterling. I don't see a silver mark in the photos, but that's ok with me!

Then you won't have to be forever polishing it! Congratulations on your win!
