This early 1900s silver mesh purse has a wonderful presence, with a finely linked chain body and an ornate decorative frame. Inside, the purse opens to reveal two separate compartments, an uncommon feature that adds both charm and collectability. The silver has been left unpolished, preserving its original patina and the crisp detail of the engraved frame. The mesh hangs evenly, and the purse closes securely with its ball clasp. It measures about 3 inches across and 2.75 inches long, a beautifully compact size perfect for display or as a thoughtful antique gift. A striking survivor from the turn of the century, meant to be appreciated as a decorative piece today.
