Mandalian
Art Nouveau Enameled Mesh Purse
|
|
Please take a look at this gorgeous 1920's Mandalian enameled mesh purse. The all-over Art Nouveau design carries itself to the beautiful silver toned cut-out frame. The color scheme is quite pleasant and includes lots of pink, cranberry, slate and charcoal, all enameled onto an antique ivory background shade, showing truest in the close-up photo of the frame. |

As you can see the color palette is very pleasing to the eye and the Nouveau floral design flows with warmth and character. The enamel is complete, I see only one link under the hinge that has paint loss, otherwise, perfection. The graceful lines on this mesh purse are further evident in the silver toned frame. The cornucopia styled decoration is bursting with embossed features, surrounding a dual cut-out pierced center area. Both sides of this bag are identical and both sides are pictured.
The unlined interior opens to show it's signature along with the bright inner mesh, actually much more tarnish free than my photo showed. The hinges and clasp are both in solid working order. The bottom is skirted with a full fringe, every strand is in place, with only a couple of tiny individual links missing, it's nearly perfect. Structurally, this purse is fabulous, all mesh well attached as it should be and no losses at the hinges. This lovely vintage creation measures 7 & 1/2 in total length by 3 & 3/4 across the frame and the chain handle drops 4 & 3/4 inches. I do believe you will be very pleased with this Mandalian mesh purse, it's wonderful.
