Petit Point & Tapestry Facts & Tips

 


Large And Impressive Scenic Petit Point Handbag


<<<< Back to Petit Point, Tapestry & Fabric Purses

 

Made by hand, likely in Austria during the 1930 era, this figural scenic micro petit point purse is a sight to behold.

Although it is unlabeled, I can surely detect the superior quality of the talented Austrian artisans of that era.




 

     

I believe my photos depict the scene, the colors and the details very well, all presented on an antique ivory background shade.  They do not, however, show the tiny micro stitches, which must be at least 35 to 40 per inch, they are exquisite.  The tones are rich and vivid, showing no fading or loss of color.  There is a lot of dimension to the scene with a village far off in the background and a cliff with a river flowing beneath.  The close-up photos are true to live, you will not be disappointed in this marvelous and large evening handbag.

     

The gold tone frame is equally as beautiful with domed pierced metal accents divided by rows of faux pearls.  Everything looks very nice indeed, with perhaps a couple of pearls showing a bit of age, noticeable upon close scrutiny.  Both sides of the frame are the same and the clasp is capped with stones that look like mother-of-pearl, how very lovely.  The frame and clasp are in solid working order, no problems at all.

     

The purse is pulled together with a floral petit point outer perimeter band, all in coordinating colors.  The interior is lined in a superb quality off white ivory satin that boasts four pockets for all of your individual accessories.  This purse has been professionally cleaned for your future enjoyment and shows only minor, small signs of age or usage, certainly no damages or wear whatsoever.  It measures, stuffed with tissue, generously at 6 in height by 9 in width, the sides are ⅞ in depth and the chain handle drops 6¾ inches.  This vintage micro petit point evening handbag is a treasure to be used, cared for and appreciated.  It's a work of art that few are capable of accomplishing today, I know you will love it.
