19th Century French Belle Époque Ladies Purse with Brass Chain Handle

About the Item

Delicate and decorative, this antique French purse was crafted circa 1880 and reflects the refined elegance of the Belle Époque era. The soft pink body is made from fine hand embroidered fabric with a symmetrical floral design featuring daisies, tulips, and scrolling foliage. The needlework displays a sophisticated palette of white, golden ochre, sage green, and burgundy threads. The purse is topped with a gilt metal frame secured by a classic kiss-lock clasp, and adorned with a continuous band of inset, colored glass gemstones. A delicate brass chain handle complements the feminine design, enhancing its wearable and display appeal. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this embroidered evening bag is a fine example of 1880s French craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of period accessories or as an accent in vintage-inspired interiors. Measures: 6.5" W x 7" H.
