Victorian Sterling Silver Men's Hunting Chatelaine

Description : The term Charivari, means to create a discordant noise. Imagine the Bavarian man who wore this sterling silver chatelaine on his lederhosen. There was surely a jangling of metal with every step he took. A solid sterling steer, a hand pistol, a vibrant steed, and a wild boar are the spirits on this talismanic adornment. Often worn for good luck, the hunting chatelaine also represented trophy icons. Above the mantel sits a male sheep and a cherub guards over the charms. There are several hallmarks and maker's stamps on the hook area that tell the story of how this unusual find was originally created. A rare, and historic storytelling treasure.
