A lovely and delicate Victorian purse from a recent Estate purchase. This is a rare find indeed and a lovely example of Victoriana fashion accessories. The purse has a black lace overlay, which I believe is a heavy cotton. There is black satin underneath the lace overlay. The lace work is in need of some minor repair in several places which could easily be accomplished by someone skillful with a needle. The frame is brass and is darkened on the outside with patina consistent with age. The inside of the frame is much brighter. The frame has very pretty and ornate stamping. The lining is original to the piece and is red silk. The lining has no rips, tears or stains. This purse has been hand stitched to the frame. The single, crossover handle is black silk and is 1/4" inch wide and has a drop of 4-1/2" inches to the frame. The close is a kiss style close. The purse measures 5-1/2" inches wide along the top of the frame, from east to west and the height is 4-3/4" inches, excluding the carry handle. The purse is still well attached to the frame. A lovely antique piece of museum quality.
