About the Item
Lady's arm bag with chain and sharp corner zip in golden brass. The hinge features a cloisonneé enamel decoration with stylized green and white flowers on a black background, adorned with openwork motifs and corners. At the corners small synthetic stones as well as the one present in the opening button.
The fabric of the bag is entirely decorated with a small stitch, with a rare and complex exotic scene recalling the 'Indies' with a caparisoned elephant in the centre. The decoration is mirrored on both sides of the bag. The edge features Jugenstil motifs. The art of 'petit point' originates in France and has had great success in Austria, becoming increasingly refined. Austria early 1900s.
