Antique Russian Sterling Silver Niello Chatelaine Perfume Scent Flask Bottle
Pre-owned. Has the mark with 84 which indicates .875 silver, along with left facing woman's head wearing kokoshnik and also an assayer's mark I cannot make out. In another area there is what I guess is the maker's mark but it is worn and I cannot make it out. The cap screws on. Bottle is attached to a belt hook by two chains. One side has a shield shaped area that is blank. above that is a name. On the other side it is just a pattern. The side where the shield is, is indented. Not sure if that was intentional when it was made or someone pushed it slightly inward. Some scratches. The bottle alone measures 2 3/8" x 1 1/4". Including the chains and hook, the length is 4". This item weighs 20.3 grams.
