Mandalian Art Deco Flapper Enamel Mesh Purse with Floral Motif and Drop Beads
About the Item
Mandalian Art Deco Enamel Mesh Purse with Floral Motif and Drop Beads, USA, Circa 1920s
Description:
A vibrant example of early American Art Deco design, this Mandalian Manufacturing Company mesh purse is a classic accessory from the Roaring Twenties, when such bags were cherished by flapper-era women for their portability and modern flair. Crafted in the 1920s, this piece features a delicately enameled mesh body in a symmetrical floral pattern rendered in red, green, and black over a cream-toned ground. The metal mesh links are individually painted, a testament to Mandalian’s reputation for colorfast, enamel-fired craftsmanship.
The purse is framed by a pierced silver-tone frame with intricate Art Deco detailing and a floral clasp, suspended from a stylized geometric link chain handle. The bottom is finished with a shaped point and a series of 13 elongated red enamel drop beads that sway gently with movement. The interior retains its original silk lining, now gently aged but intact.
Marked "Mandalian Mfg. Co.," a noted American firm based in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, this purse embodies both collectible charm and historical interest.
