The front of this coin purse is hand stitched in the tiniest micro petit point, so small that I will not try to count the stitches but I suspect there are at least 35 - 40 per inch. The scene is as charming as they come, a dancing couple in period clothing, it is simply wonderful, I really like this one. The colors are very crisp and bright, the close-up photos show the tones very well. The architectural background view is also intricate and fantastic. 
 The backside and perimeter is covered in a black faille like fabric. There is black piping around all the edges and everything look unused and in perfect vintage condition. The arched shaped golden tone framing and clasp are in solid working order and barely show a couple scratches. The purse is secure to the frame at all points and the original interior lining looks hardly used. I find no country of origin noted but I am positive this piece was made in Austria, or perhaps France. This elegant change purse measures rather small, like most of the earlier pieces at 3 & 1/4 in height by 2 & 3/4 in width and it has a 3/4 inch bottom and side depth. I know you will adore this petit point change pure, so if you like what you see, don't hesitate, these purses are almost impossible to acquire and who knows when or if I will get another.
