Whimsical Victorian purse made of pink silk decorated with lace, cut steel beads and metallic thread tassels. There are cut steel fleur de lys, lace panels embedded with steel beads bordered by steel spangles, tassels with metallic thread and cut steel, and a cut steel fringe. The pink silk is splitting, especially along the seams, as is the pink silk lining. But it’s a wonderful reticule! Measures a large 11” by 8 ½”, not including 1 ½”.
