Art Deco Era Evans Gold Mesh Evening Purse with Art Deco Detailed Top and Compact, ca 1920s

This pretty gold mesh evening purse with its gold tone and black enamel top is in very good antique condition: there are a few flaws, commensurate with age and use. The blue satin lining is a bit stained with remnants of rouge; a few stitches are needed in the back to secure the mesh to the frame; there is some wearing away of the black enamel on the top and some minor rubbing of the gold tone top. The interior of the compact is fine, however, with the mirror unmarred. The chain has been replaced with a contemporary example. The diameter of the top is 2 1/2" in diameter; the pouch is 2" long.

This evening purse / compact would certainly make heads turn every time you pull it out and would be a wonderful addition to your vintage collection.
