Mesh Purses Facts & Tips

 


Wonderful Whiting & Davis Enamel Mesh Purse

<<<< Back to Mesh and Metal Purses page 2

 

This Art Deco beauty comes from the Whiting & Davis Company of Plainville, Massachusetts.

This 1920 enameled mesh handbag is a stunning example of it's time and quite different from what I usually acquire.




    

There color scheme show best in the close-up photos, a bit washed out in the fuller length pictures.  The black background is somewhat more unusual and is enhanced with a pink center with blue, lime green, deep coral orange , cocoa and white, all radiating into a sensational painted design.  You will find little if any color loss on this purse, perhaps a link or two, overall in really excellent condition.  I'm showing you lots of photos so you can judge this detailed pattern for yourself.

    

The mesh is well attached at all points, there are no gaps at the hinges, no lost links that I detect.  The interior of the frame is signed and the purse is unlined.  The frame has a wonderful sculpted shape, very dimensional with a delicately embossed floral garland.

    

The bottom is finished with an eight point Van Dyke skirted fringe, all secure.  This purse is a bit larger than most, measuring 8 in length, 5 across the frame, 5 1/2 across the skirt and the chain handle drops 7 inches.  Please consider adding this terrific Whiting & Davis mesh handbag to your collection, it's very interesting and oh so near pristine condition, a quality investment choice.
