Summary:

Gilded vase with metal beads and mother of pearl handle. The vase of the holder is elaborately designed with open metalwork. Small cartouches are combined with 'S' and 'C' scrolls to create the sides of the vase. Within each section is a curving band of brown metal beads extending vertically. The base of the vase is formed by ornate acanthus leaves atop a crown like ring. Snake chains attach a pin and ring to the bottom of the bowl. The pin is inserted through the vase. This feature would secure a posy in the holder. The ring connected to the other chain would allow the bouquet holder to be worn dangling from the finger or could be attached to a chatelaine worn at the waist. The vase portion of the bouquet holder connects to the handle at a band that is embossed with flowers. The handle is straight, made from a luminescent mother of pearl. It has been turned, creating rings and bands as it tapers to a point
