"Chatelaines are decorative and useful waist-hung items which re-create the concept of the medieval chatelaine or lady of the castle wearing her keys at her waist. For centuries they have been a popular adjunct to a lady's dress, yet surprisingly these fascinating collectables have been sadly neglected. To place the chatelaine in perspective the book opens with an historical summary of waist-hung appendages (excluding weapons), taking the reader up to the early twentieth century, when the fashion began to decline, though some modern examples have been included." -- dj.
