REDUCED-Antique Mesh Purse Sterling Silver Clasp, Brass Trim and Chain, Painted Detail, Goatskin Lining ca 1900-1910

Description

REDUCED FROM $75 --
This wonderful mesh purse came from an estate in Central Pennsylvania. It dates from the early 1900s, and is in wonderful condition. Approximately 90% of the original painted detail is intact on both sides. The clasp is sterling silver and it closes tightly. There is a brass chain attached, and the purse is trimmed in brass chain. The lining inside is in perfect condition and is buttery-soft.

It is very likely that this is a Whiting and Davis mesh bag, but there is no visible identification confirming that assumption.

The purse is 8" from the tip of the two beads of the clasp, to the bottom of the brass chain trim. It is 4" wide at the frame. The is intricate detail on the sterling clasp.

Except for a very small area where the chain has come loose from the hinged part of the frame, the purse is in very good condition.

This is truly a find, a one-of-a-kind.
