Charming small antique purse, in crocodile-embossed leather, mounted on an elegant twisted metal frame.
Inside, it retains its original beveled mirror, delicately patinated by time, as well as a plum-colored textile lining.
This type of accessory once accompanied women in their handbags, serving as a purse, a small toiletry item, or a jewelry case. An object that was both useful and intimate, typical of the Belle Époque / early 20th century.
💜 A delightful testament to the feminine elegance of yesteryear.
