EARLY 19TH CENTURY CHATELAINE

A superb Swiss 18th century chatelain chain with a double sided dog & cherub enamel scene.

Circa 1790; The chains of the chatelaine are made of high carat gold with a combination of enamelled links alternating with intricate filigree rectangle links and natural pearls.

The main dog clip is large and has a twist lock, so is completely secure when fastened.

The chains extends to a beautifully enamelled double sided plaque with a pearl border.

The enamel has a lone dog on one side, and a cherub with his dog on the other.

The guilloche enamel scenes are surrounded by a high carat gold scroll design with tiny light blue forget me not flowers.

From the plaque hangs two keys, a fantastic agate fob with scorpion intaglio and a further twist close dog clip which could be used to add additional charms.

The chatelaine looks epic worn on a choker style chain.
