This purse is one of the most desirable of the Whiting Davis’ as it is a figural Dresden.

Why wait all year to see one hummingbird in your garden when you can look at one all year round on this lovely Dresden mesh purse.

Done in bright colors of fuchsia, periwinkle, lime green and apricot all on an off-white background.

The colors are bright and unfaded. The goldtone frame is bright and snaps shut straight and securely. Suspended by one of Whiting Davis’ finer link chains.

The purse is lined in a butter yellow silk with a ruched pocket and has a slight spot of discoloration.

The line across the bottom in the pic is just the lining, not a flaw.

The mesh is without holes and needs no reattachment anywhere.

Measures 5 ¼” from top of clasp to bottom of flowing Dresden fringe, 7 ½” wide when flared out and 4 ½” when hanging. The frame is 4” across.

An Excellent Collector’s piece and a chance to own a vintage figural Whiting Davis Dresden Mesh purse for a reasonable price!
