Title Chamberlain's key/insignia, Viennese imperial court
Nationality Austrian
Period c 1860-1918
Price £120.00

This device was worn by Austrian court chamberlains as a symbol stitched into a pocket of the dress coat. It represents the key which every chamberlain would have carried as a symbol of office. It appears to be fire gilt on base metal of some sort and is in reasonable condition with most of its original gilding intact.

It is just under 13.5cm high altogether.
