So typical of its time, this chic bag was created in the 1920s.

Condition Report:

Very Good - One paste stone is missing, the tassel has lost a few threads and there are some faint scratches to the surface of the celluloid. These aspects do not detract from the overall appeal of the piece. Please note, that this bag may have also had a fold over clasp at some point and this is now no longer present. Therefore, only very lightweight items can be carried in this bag. If any weight moves into the front of the case, it can fall open. I would advise that you, therefore, clutch the bag when carrying it too. Rather than just allowing it to hang from your wrist.

This beautiful and well preserved example of cut steel design dates from the early to mid 1800s.

Condition Report:

Very Good - A couple of the cut steel studs are potentially missing. However, the design is so busy, it is difficult to tell if there are losses or if there are just omissions in the design. All of the studs are in shining, excellent condition, which is very rare for a cut steel piece.
