Antique Brass Needle Case / Chatelaine Chinese * Circa 1900 This
Chinese needle case
is solid brass and is beautifully hand engraved on both sides. The engravings depict exotic birds with foliage backgrounds.
The edges are engraved with floral designs. The top slides up the cord
to give access to the needle case. Pulling on the bottom cord
pulls the needle case back into its
sheath. A variety of beads are strung on the cord. The
ring at the top would have slipped
over
a toggle or button on the owner's robe. It's in
excellent
condition with no dents, repairs or other damage. The design is
worn smooth, but the brass is so solid, I doubt it could dent. The case
measures 3" long and the entire piece (cords included) is 8"
long. Everything
works very well.
