Wikipedia "Chatelaine is a decorative belt hook or clasp worn at the waist with a series of chains suspended from it. Each chain is mounted with useful household appendages such as scissors, thimbles, watches, keys, vinaigrette, and household seals. Also used as a woman's keychain 19th century to show the status of women in a household. The woman with the keys to all the many desks, drawers, cabinets was "the woman of the household", [as a matter of prestige]. She assembled specifically to her needs & tastes."
