$506 USD SaleSALE Opulent Antique Georgian Purse, French Gold Cord, Opaline Worked on Silk
Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Purses
Missing only a drawstring, if that's how it was originally set up for closure, this masterpiece of needlework culminates into an evening purse seemingly sewn out of pure gold. The gold foiled cording is entirely all formed and hand sewn into place in the opulent pattern you see, both front and back entirely worked in gold cording. The front has the addition of a ring of blue opaline beads forming a circle into which a lattice of gold has been worked. The blue opaline accent shows again in the 2 ...
$294 USD SaleSALE Rare Antique French 2pc Aide Memoire Etui Boxed Set, Silver Accenting
Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Purses
Wonderful & rare 19th century French two piece matching aide memoire & coin or money purse set, olive green leather with reticulated silver floral accents and both beautifully displayed in the original leather presentation box! The last set we had in this style included these two pieces but also had a leather bound missal or prayer book. Not to say that the set has any religious origins but they're so close in style, etc. that I thought I'd mention it. Very unique, one piece is meant to hold a ...
$931 USD SaleSALE RARE Antique Viennese Kiln-fired Enamel & Leather Purse, Austrian Bag or Wallet
Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Purses
Superb! The marks around the sterling rim that surrounds the enamel panels (2) of this immaculate antique evening bag/purse are Austrian, though many think of this type of enamel work as being French guilloche. I suspect the enamel work is also that of a Vienna artisan/jeweler or goldsmith, and it's so finely accomplished, it certainly bespeaks his or her level of mastery of this very difficult and time consuming art. The kiln-fired enamels like this require many many hours of work and at the ...

$336 USD SaleSALE Antique French Aubusson Hand Bag, Purse, Romantic
Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Purses
Reminiscent of the old French aubusson and gobelin tapestry panels that line the walls of so many of our favorite Chateau and Palaces of France and of Europe, these later aubusson loomed tapestry purses became faves in the 1880-1920s, and this is a remainder of that era. The method of weaving fine dyed wool and silk yarns is the same, the beautiful surface of the needlework/loom work is just as pretty, and they are wonderful to collect and decorate with now. I saw a hanging rack once within a ...

$251 USD SaleSALE Antique French Sterling Silver & Mother of Pearl Purse
Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Purses
Another of the charming little coin purses popular in the mid-1800s as gifts for Catholic girls' first communion, often paired with a similarly covered prayer book or necessaire, or aide d' memoire, and within a fitted presentation case with leather covering. These items and sets (those that remain in full set and in box) are highly collectable today, and make a wonderful gift, as well. I've seen entire vitrines filled with them and they're just gem-like in their beauty and attention to detail. ...

Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Purses
Here's a charming little mid-19th century French treasure, a coin purse with covers of slightly convex mother of pearl shell, entirely hand carved and of beautiful high pearlescent shimmer which we have trouble capturing well in our photographer's set up, but I can assure you, it's much prettier in hand. The 2 carved cover panels are each in superb condition, no damage at all. The old claret red silk interior is original but shows a split or two, which is very common in these old ones. The ...

$336 USD SaleSALE Luxurious Antique/Vintage Red Sable Edwardian Muff, Purse
Vintage Clothing & Accessories:Antique:Purses
I've pulled everything out of my antique furs storage, after seeing so much fur trim this year in fashions of Europe, pages of Vogue, etc., and here's one of the loveliest of the bunch: a lush thick and long red sable, is it, or is it maybe fox? It has the feel of heavy lush mink, but long fur - I'm not a fur expert, so am not quite sure if it is sable or fox or a reddish mink, but I can tell you that it is really large, puffy, and gorgeous! There are no spots of missing or thinned fur, and no ...

This one is in fine form with the interior as lovely as the exterior, still in the old original form with pleated dividers and a locking coin section, expanding baffles between the mop covers and the ...

A lovely old mid-1800s coin purse from someone's Grand Tour - souvenir of Paris, with hand painted vew of the Concord and fountains in that spanse between the Louvre and the Champs-Elysées - you know just the spot. A view of the Pont de la Concord looking over to the Asembly Nationale, which was originally, you'll remember, the Medici Palace. A splendid view, nicely painted and very reminiscent of a stroll through the Jardins de Tuilleries. The framework, with inlay work in multiple colors of ...| Items 1 - 19 of 19 | Page 1 of 1 |
