Ascot New York Oval Mother of Pearl Lucite Double Decker Box Purse, 1950s
About the Item
Post-war suburban gold, this nostalgic box purse is a beautiful, functional conversation piece thanks to its sizeable interior and clever double decker design. The Lucite lid flips open to reveal a tray, beneath which is hidden a second “underground” compartment opened by a spring latch beside the clasp. Unlike most box purses with a single, cavernous interior compartment, this one keeps all your necessities neat and in place. Poodle skirt not included.
Oval mother of pearl Lucite box purse with rigid Lucite top handle; Lucite flip clasp opens lid to reveal top tray, which is also a lid for the hidden lower compartment. Mirror inside top lid; unlined.

New Tyrolean Brown Suede Mini Steamer Trunk 24-Karat Gold Plate Filigree, 1940s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Hands-down the most clever, unusual and sculptural evening bag we’ve seen, this extremely collectable handbag resembles a miniature 1930s steamer trunk—if steamer trunks had been surrounded by 24-karat gold plate filigree, that is. This incredible bag’s front face unlatches and lays flat to reveal a mirror on its interior face, an elastic band to hold its original comb and comb sleeve, and a series of padded silk moiré interior drawers and compartments. A handbag worthy of a trip on the Queen Mary...
