This little handbag has simply captured my heart and I know it will have the same effect on you. The profile of this delightful woman is gorgeous, she is stunning, clothes and all. Her attention is toward a branch of soft yellow roses, with the scene, mountains and sky offering the perfect background. The colors are truly wonderful and showing well in my photos. The petit point stitches count at 32 to the inch, they are in extra fine condition and the purse is secure to the frame at all points. A stitch or two have been taken to prevent splitting but you will likely have trouble noticing them. I'm showing you lots of pictures so you can see all the lovely details on this purse and judge it as worthy. 
Check out this heavily embossed and decorated sterling silver frame, it is a work of art and the ruby jeweled clasp is spectacular, looks like a fancy piece of Victorian jewelry set with tiny sparkling marcasites. The clasp works well, pull back to open and snaps closed snugly. The front side of the frame is radiant with ruby enameling and set with additional faceted stones. Upon very close inspection, you may notice that three of the stones have been replaced, difficult to distinguish without scrutinizing the frame, otherwise the exterior is flawless. The backside is beautifully etched in detail and the chain handle is a classic, possibly gold gilded. 
 The interior of the frame is properly signed with country of origin, as shown. The sterling is in nice bright condition but there are a few small interior edge crimps, dents or imperfections to the shape, however, nothing that distracts in the least or distresses the frame, I only mention for accuracy. The original lining is intact, having two gathered pockets. Although I don't see any stains on the fabric, there is some minor age related discolor along the frame's edge and some early signs of fraying at the sides as well, not too bad though, this purse can be carried with loving care. Keeping in the style of small, this Victorian handbag measures 4 & 3/4 in height by 5 & 1/4 in width, 4 & 1/4 across the frame, the chain drops 5 & 1/2 inches and the outer perimeter matching floral petit point border is 1/2 inch wide. This purse has been cleaned and carries only a scent of freshness. I consider this handbag to be in remarkable condition, I really am attracted to this one, it's so cute.
