Petit Point & Tapestry Facts & Tips

Dynamic Walborg Designer 1940 - 1950 Petit Point Evening Handbag Not What You're Looking For?  Click Here To See More Petit Point & Fabric Purses   This 1940 - 1950 Walborg designer handbag is a stunning petit point purse with a little more room for carrying all of your essentials for a pleasant evening out.   The floral display is especially wonderful, having every color and variety of flowers that you will love, including roses, violets and forget-me-nots.

The workmanship is meticulous and incorporates 24 stitches to the inch or 576 per square inch. Although this is not considered micro petit point, it is a fabulous example of petit point and will make for a terrific wardrobe accessory. 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 cleaned and is in superb condition with only a tad bit of the vintage look, primarily on the bottom of the purse, where the outer band of petit point is.

The purse has a soft medium hand, it is not stiff at all, very easy to carry and love. Both sides of the purse have the same detailed flowers, saturated with a full spectrum of color and emitting an overall radiance. The background tone on this purse is an ivory but there is almost an illusion of a green tinge, as if the greenery were casting a shade on the purse, affording a very dynamic appearance.  The sides and bottom are finished in a band of coordinating petit point.

The gold tone frame is bright and shining, opens and closes perfectly and looks like new, without aging. It has a kissing clasp and a set-in band with a sculpted beaded design.  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. Stuffed with tissue, this rather roomy purse measures 7 inches in total height by 7½ across the frame, 9 inches across the bottom, it has 1 inch of depth and the dressy twisted chain carry  handle drops 6 inches. If you are attracted to these photos, you will adore this lovely floral vintage Walborg petit point evening purse, it's in excellent overall condition.
