  The workmanship is meticulous and incorporates 32 stitches to the inch or at least 1000 per square inch. This hand made purse is stunning and the floral arrangement is presented on an antique ivory toned background, with the outer edges having a bit of a deeper toned ivory, all very even and pretty. This example of petit point will make for a terrific wardrobe accessory and as you can see from my photos, the colors and the flowers are exquisite, with no fading, snags, pulls, wear or tear. This purse has been professionally and thoroughly cleaned, it is in superb condition with only a tad bit of discolor, barely can find it, primarily on the bottom of the purse, on or close to the outer band of petit point.   The clasp is quite unique and this is the first of it's kind that I have acquired. The clasp is a shapely leaf design that is encrusted with set in marcasites, all of which appear intact and sparkling as only marcasites can. The clasp folds over the top edge of the frame and closes securely with a gentle snap. The gold tone frame is in extra fine condition and all elements are functioning as they should. The purse is constructed with an outer perimeter band of flowers that is stitched together with the front and back panel to create a beautiful handbag. Both sides of the purse have the same detailed flowers, saturated with a full spectrum of color and emitting an overall warm radiance. This purse has a medium hand, not too soft nor it is stiff, it carries very comfortably and you will find it easy to love.   The interior is lined in an ivory satin, it has two pockets, one with a label that reads, imported genuine hand made petit point Walborg. No country of origin but the French were well known for making many of the Walborg petit point purses. This purse is basically perfect and spotless save for a couple of very faint discolors at the very bottom of the purse and these are not very noticeable at all. This purse suffers from absolutely no problems at all, it is gorgeous and well cared for. Stuffed with tissue, this adequately roomy purse measures 5¾ inches in total height by 8¼ across the bottom, 8 inches across the frame, it has nearly 1 inch of depth and the dressy twisted French chain carry handle drops the purse by 6 inches. If you are attracted to these photos, you will adore this breathtaking vintage 1940 Walborg petit point purse, it's in excellent condition and will be an asset to any wardrobe.
