Delicate antique coin purse made of natural mother-of-pearl, mounted in silver-plated metal, adorned on the lid with a finely crafted "E" monogram featuring vegetal lines typical of the late 19th century, between late Napoleon III and the nascent Belle Époque.
This monogram gives the object a personal and intimate dimension, recalling the elegant accessories made or given as gifts to accompany the daily lives of high-society women.
The mother-of-pearl, luminous and subtly iridescent, is particularly well preserved and offers a soft and refined finish.
The interior, lined with blue moiré silk (likely) in good condition, features several well-structured gussets, as well as an additional pocket with its small functional clasp, a practical and sought-after detail.
