My photos show you exactly what you can expect; deep maroon (almost ruby), metallic gold, black and a fleshy soft peach tone, all on a white ground. My photos are very good and do not exaggerate the depth of colors. The enameling has a glossy sheen, it is executed in an Art Nouveau design and I find no losses or apparent wear to mention. The purse is secure to the frame at all points and the bottom is finished with a full complete row of tiny mesh chain link fringes, all relatively bright. 
The frame is stunning with it's sculpted arched shape. The embossing further exemplifies the Art Nouveau era and look at the clasp, it's a winner, standing proudly with it's circle of flowerets, even the tip of the ball closure is highlighted with detail, how sweet. The interior is signed, as shown, and unlined. There are no gaps in the mesh at the hinges or anywhere else, no problems whatsoever on this purse, it's a fabulous investment piece. This exceptional Mandalian enameled mesh purse measures a generous 9 in total length by 4 & 1/2 across the frame, the chain handle drops 6 inches. When you see this purse, you will love it as I do, it's magnificent.
