Description

1970’s Vintage Middle Eastern Style Brass Scalloped Shell Decorative Shoulder Bag with Chain. This unusual, vintage purse is in very good condition with minimal surface wear, oxidation and a dark patina to the brass, as shown. It would benefit from a polish. It is cleverly fashioned as a scalloped shell with a hinged lid top. The purple velvet interior is in very good condition with areas of slight fraying around the lid, as shown. The ornate, pierced brass closure is in good working order as is the matching back hinge. The brass chain is securely attached to the side rings and free of kinks. The purse itself is approximately 6" long x 7" wide. The mouth of the purse is 4" long x 3" wide. The chain is approximately 36" long. Provenance: Private Estate.
