A rare hand coloured celluloid and silk velvet 'rose' handbag, France, 1920s.
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A real collector's piece, and conversation point, this highly imaginative and charming handbag design is a rarity, and is wonderful to use and wear.
The centre of the 'rose' pulls to one side, releasing the catch, hence allowing the bag to open. The top is made from delicately hand curled 'petals' of coloured celluloid, the actual frame in dark green is robust and strong, with stronger green leaves, underlying the 'bloom'. The bag is made from mole brown silk velvet, with a black 'ruffled' trim highlight.
Many bakelite and celluloid bags...

Jeanne Bernard of Paris Black Suede Clock Shaped Handbag
Located in Chicago, IL
This marvelous figural handbag is shaped like an alarm clock. It's covered in a fine, black suede with details and accents in gold plated brass.

Black Suede Mandolin Shaped Handbag Attributed to Jeanne Bernard of Paris
Located in Chicago, IL
This delightful figural handbag is shaped like a mandolin. It's covered in a fine, black suede with details and accents in gold plated brass. The “strings” are twisted wires that run through notches in the “bridge”. The neck bends slightly and finishes with a curled head adorned with a tassel. The body has a rounded back that holds a few items, including the original comb that fits in a slot that separates the two small compartments. A braided suede strap with a gold accent forms the handle, and a tab with a snap closure keeps the purse closed.
The bag is stamped “Made in France Breveté”. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has in its collection a nearly identical bag with a Lederer label, as well as the stamping that this bag has. And a collector friend of mine has another one with a Jeanne Bernard...
