Description

This is a charming small mid 19th Century Victorian antique purse with mother of pearl panels. The top panel is delicately carved with a oval fluted pattern and finished with a band to the outer edge. To the centre is a pierced and engraved silver cartouche, with script initials. The hinged, silver plated metal frame has a clasp to one side and opens to reveal the original moiré silk interior, with lockable pocket to the middle. A charming bygone piece.
