Although this handbag is unmarked, I feel confident that the scene is of French origin and both sides of this purse have the same scene. I love the arched bridge and all the marvelous buildings in the background, all worked on a beige ivory ground. The waterway adds a sense of fluidity and movement and the occasional figural characters introduces life to the scene, all exhibited on an antique ivory ground. My photos presentation the purse well and characterize the colors as bright and crisp, however, it looks nicer in person. The scene is surrounded with a lovely floral border and everything appears to be in wonderful vintage condition, no stains, stress or negatives that I detect. 
 The gold tone frame is a work of art. The front has an applied silver toned band of embossed metal work that is enhanced with sparkling marcasites, all of which are intact. The clasp is a special treat, not even photos can illustrate it's beauty but the glitter is to be seen to be appreciated. I regret that my photos cannot express the twinkling nature of the frame but it is fabulous nonetheless. 
 The sides and bottom have a floral petit point band that connects the purse together, all securely. The interior lining is made of quality peachy ivory satin, sporting dual pockets and showing little signs of usage. This adorable creation measures, stuffed with tissue, 4¾ in height by 6¾ in width, the sides are ¾ in depth and the elegant, twisted chain handle drops 5½ inches. The condition is excellent, no loss or fading of color, no wear and small if any signs of age or usage. Thank you for considering adding this purse to your wardrobe accessories, I know you will be happy to own this hand made vintage treasure.
