Big and fabulous vintage 1920s Art Deco purse! The frame is comprised of a curving crocodile celluloid design in a butter cream background with black/chocolate brown recesses. Two large curved flattened elements at the top form the closure with the celluloid chain a blend of matching colors. The body of the handbag is a black background with gold embroidery. Hard to pick up on film, but the heavy material has a slight sparkle. The inside is lined in a dark beige silk. Bring out the eclectic flapper in you with this standout Deco purse!
Note that I have the purse shown with a compact for size comparison only..the compact is not included in the listing..
Measurements: 18" from top of the chain to the bottom of the bag. The bag itself measures 11" from the top of the closure to the bottom and the frame is 7 1/2" wide. The purse is not small!
Circa: 1920
Condition: The frame and chain are in excellent condition with no noted flaws. The tapestry bottom, while very useable, has wear spots at the corner where the frame is as well as the bottom left. The inside shows age discoloration although complete and free of tears. An excellent purse that will turn heads...so unique!
