Antique Victorian Coin Purse - Silver Plated Repousse Hinged Lid - Tatting Base with Cut Steel Beads
In good condition for its age, there is some loss of plating on the lid from daily use, and a couple of the steel cut beads at the base are missing. An exquisite little purse!
The soft maroon body was created using a technique called tatting. Beautiful workmanship. The only mark is Pat March 90 which is for a patent in 1890, making this little purse over 120 years old.
The repousse silver plated hinged lid measures 2 1/8 inches (53mm) in diameter.
The front button releases the lid, and works well. It opens and stays closed well.
There isn't a maker mark.
Weighs 1.6 ounces (46 grams).
