I am very pleased with these photos, they represent the purse well. As you can see, the depth of thread color is endless, with no fading at all. The very outer perimeter is a deep ecru tone and then the infusion of color abounds. The scenery is charming and the outer border of roses is delightfully rich and appealing. The stitches are nice and small with a minimum of 30 stitches to the inch or 900 stitches to the square inch, not the tiniest stitches I've ever seen but still considered micro in size. This purse has been professionally and thoroughly cleaned. That is a process that takes much time, attention and patience but this purse deserved every ounce of effort I could give it.   The gold tone frame is a dazzling work of art. My photos will speak for it's charisma, with the front side having an applied band of silver and deep set shimmering marcasites. The lift to open clasp is a fine sculpted ornament for this purse and adds extra sparkle and a bit more glamour. The frame and clasp are a special treat, not even photos could illustrate it's true twinkling nature but it is fabulous nonetheless and all the marcasites are in place. If I had to find something to mention, it would be that the jump rings attached to the purse frame, for holding the chain handle, are a little bent inward, as seen in my photos, but since both sides are, it perhaps was made that way, I'm certainly not going to fiddle with them. The purse carries very well and all structural elements work as they should. 
 The sides and bottom have a floral petit point band that connects the purse together, all securely. The interior lining is a rich gold tone quality satin, sporting dual pockets, a designer label and a matching satin coin purse, all seeming very clean with little, if any, signs of usage. Although the label reads only Walborg Original, I do believe this handbag was made in France. The French loved to add marcasites to their frames and it has a traditionally well known French loop chain handle. This stunning hand made creation measures, stuffed with tissue, 6¼ in total height by 7 inches at it's widest, the outer band is ¾ of an inch and the handle drops nearly 6 inches. This would be considered average in size for a petit point evening purse but not considered average in condition, it is superior in shape, in fact excellent, no loss or fading of color or threads, no wear, staining and no apologies. Thank you for considering adding this exceptional purse to your wardrobe accessories, I know you will be happy to own this hand made vintage treasure.
