Fantabulous Wilardy Purse ca.1950s

Fabulous Wilardy deep butterscotch lucite purse in an amazing design. The condition is excellent – there are no chips, cracks or abrasions. The curved latch is firms and opens to a three tier purse. The top tier is opened by pulling on the purse handle which opens to reveal a mirror on the inside of the lid as well as the Wilardy signature. Pushing back on the top tier opens the purse to two successively larger compartments. (see photos). Will Hardy (Wilardy) was considered one of the top designers of his day which I think is evidenced by this particular piece.This is the epitome of deco design in these types of purses and a unique and lovely item. Dimensions: 4 1/2 inches tall x wide x 4 3/4 deep x 6 inches wide. The handle adds 4.5 inches to the height.
