This original jet black antique evening purse features an exquisite frame handle showcasing elegant black birds of paradise on either side, nestled within an ornate filigree ~ both front and back handles feature the same beautiful design! The handle also features an elegant slip latch to keep it closed, and when closed it intergrates into the overall design beautifully! The body of the purse is made from richly textured hand-crochet, while the interior is fully lined. The height of the purse from its lower edge to the top of the handle measures approx 7 3/8", and the handle itself measures approx. 7 1/8" wide at its base. This elegant Art Déco evening bag is in wonderful overall condition for its age, and ready to be enjoyed. Would also be an exquisite gift or addition to a collection of fashionable antiques!
