Lovely Antique Czechoslovakian Handbag
This small antique handbag is museum or book quality! It's made of very fine petit point needlepoint fabric with a classic floral cartouche on both front and back; the sides are also made of petit point decorated with small flowers and edged in micro piping trim. The frame is very special- it's made of textured gold tone metal accented with tiny marcasite gems, black faceted Czech glass stones and black enamel. The catch works perfectly. The attached chain shows virtually no wear and attaches on the exterior of frame: the design does not allow it to detach or tuck inside. This handbag measures approx 6.25" W x 5.25" H x .75" D with a strap drop of 4.5".
The interior is lined with lux ivory moire silk. It is constructed well and has a tag marked Made in Czechoslovakia. There is one fancy pleated slip pocket.
