A collection of chatelaines at the Musée Le Secq des Tournelles, a museum of metalwork in Rouen, France. A 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.
