(We saw a similar chatelaine on eBay, and the ear-cleaning implement was advertised as a device for opium users, but we don’t think so! However, as non-opium users, we could be wrong ….) It is unmarked but tests positive for silver, and with a patina consistent with age...

This lady is remarkably similar to a piece made by the Unger Bros., but marked only STERLING – and the stamp is reversed!
