This antique mesh purse is crafted in 800 fine silver, weighing a substantial 142 grams, and dates to the early 20th century, likely the Edwardian to Art Deco transition period. The frame is decorated with rich cobalt blue guilloché enamel accented with delicate gilt star and scrollwork detailing along both edges, a lovely example of the fine finishing techniques applied to quality mesh purses of this era. The clasp is topped with a faceted blue cabochon in a paste or glass setting, a common and expected feature on mesh purses of this style and era. The mesh itself is fine link chain mail suspended from a sturdy silver paperclip link chain measuring approximately 21 inches. Please note a small area of separated mesh links near the frame hinge, typical wear for a purse of this age, shown clearly in photos. The piece remains fully intact and displays beautifully despite this wear. There are worn maker’s marks present on the frame that are unfortunately no longer clearly legible, so this piece is offered as unattributed. Sold as is given the noted condition. A wonderful addition for any collector of antique silver, mesh purses, or Edwardian and Art Deco accessories. Every piece has a story. 🤍 #Abingdon516.
