Absolutely the most dramatic purse I have ever
laid my eyes upon, breathtaking in every possible way including it's original
condition, having found nothing even close to compare it, but based on it's
size, structural detail and decorative elements, I estimate it's age to be
from the late 1800's to the turn of the 1900's, of course, it could be older,
this hand made satin stitched purse is the best I've encountered and belongs
in the finest, well kept and beloved collection of antique purses, the
precision of the stitching was executed by a master needle worker, the depths
of expression are unsurpassed with profound use of color, every aspect
is a work of art including the impeccable jeweled frame, the interior is
superb, the entire purse is superior, undamaged, unused, showing no signs of
wear, this purse must be seen in person to be fully appreciated, I am
confident it is European, most likely made in France, don't let this one
escape you, it's surely the only one in existence, stored away and nearly
untouched since it's completion, pristine, unblemished,
exquisite romance and garden scenic embroidered purse, please look further by clicking the photo to review all the details.

Desirable and unique fully embroidered satin
stitched evening handbag from the approx. 1920 - 1930 era, a grand
presentation of artistic beauty, this talented embroiderer included some
raised workmanship known as stumpwork, it's quite unusual to find this type
of work on a vintage purse, all facial features have elevated stitches,
giving this purse 3 dimension, front side depicts a figural and architectural
scene of great depth, backside offers a meandering walkway and country side
scene, the beautiful satin or damask stitch are amongst the oldest stitches
used, these scenic renditions show
impeccable qualities, traits and skill, the embroidery wraps itself around
the framing exposing little metal, this purse is lovely on the exterior with
little minor wear evident, the satin lined interior is strong but shows signs
of some usage, overall this purse is in near excellent condition, truly a
rare wonder, few of these purses exist and most are in very poor condition so
this one would be considered quiet marvelous and a treasure for sure, click on the photos, don't miss

around the 1930's, these purses are so rarely seen that I'm sure not many

used and loved but has maintained it's structural integrity, this purse
suffers no serious distress or damages and it has been cleaned, solid brassy
frame is nearly completely covered in fine micro petit point, a treasure to be admired
and preserved,
