Vintage Tiffany Sterling Silver Mesh Flapper Purse

Collectibles : Vanity Items : Purses

 

This is a wonderful vintage (perhaps antique) Tiffany & Co sterling silver purse. The purse is mesh with a wonderful embossed frame with leaves and flowers. The purse measures 6 inches wide by 6 1/4 inches long. The sterling chain measures 16 inches in total length. The purse is in near mint condition. The hinges work properly and the purse closes nice and tight. The inside of the hinge is marked Tiffany & Co on one side and hallmarked with a capital M inside a capital G, Sterling 815. All of the tiny silver links that attach the mesh to the metal frame are present. The frame is monogrammed on the side "A.E. Frary 440 36th Ave San Francisco". It doesn't look like any of the tiny silver links in the mesh are missing. I am calling the purse near mint just in case the buyer may find any tiny links missing. I could not find any. I have shown the front and back views of the purse. One side looks like it has some slight darkening but it probably just needs to be cleaned. I have not cleaned the purse since most vintage silver buyers prefer the natural aged patina. The total weight of the purse is 7 ounces. This is a wonderful Tiffany find to add to your high end collection!
