Description
A fabulous Edwardian small silver mounted cocktail or evening bag. The shaped body is crocodile skin. The clasp and detailing are hallmarked silver, featuring flowers and leaves in a sinuous pattern, so beloved of the Art Nouveau movement. There is a small handle and inside the expanding interior is lined with kid.
Cocktail or evening bags were popular items and used to hold a small handkerchief, a dance card and a few coins. A lovely example with a practical use.
Maker:- Ludwig Krumm
