Best French Antique Silver Chain Mail Purse, Silver Chatelaine Mesh Purse, Vintage Miniature Coin Purse, Pendant Purse

French antique chatelaine purse - chain mail purse, mesh purse with so many nice features including the little balls at the bottom, multiple sterling silver hallmarks, and the inside compartment. Notice that the inside compartment has its own little silver clasp.

This purse hung from the belt of a head housemaid in fine chateaus in Europe - along with scissors, pen and notepad...all in silver!

Four Boar's Head sterling silver hallmarks, which increase the quantity of sterling (more than I have ever seen on a purse like this)

Measures approx 3.5" tall by 2." wide, a little longer than normal.

Would be a wonderful addition to your collection of purses, or to use for a pendant as many jewelry artists are now doing. Would also be a great doll's best purse.
