L362 LOT OF 2 VINTAGE 1930s ART DECO METAL MESH CELLULOID PURSES

Item Description We are pleased to offer this Lot of 2 Art Deco Era Metal Mesh Purses. Silver with teardrop dangles and ivory celluloid frame, the other a gold tone brass with metal frame. Both have minor age related wear, tarnishing, tears, but still display beautifully and would make incredible additions to any purse collection. As far back as the Middle Ages, both men and women carried purses. Although these medieval bags rarely held the scarce commodity of money, they did serve to carry other small personal items such as important papers for men and sewing implements for ladies.These early purses often reflected the social status of the carrier. More elaborately embroidered and embellished bags usually found a home with society's most affluent members. Some of the most popular purses with collectors these days are the beaded and metal mesh examples of the late 19th and early 20th century. These hard to find early purses are a must have for the more serious antique purse collector. Research Consulted: Restoring & Collecting Antique Beaded Purses by Evelyn Haertig....
