AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique silver-plated mesh evening bag, dating back to the early 20th century. This elegant accessory features a finely woven chainmail (mesh) body that remains in excellent structural condition, exhibiting a graceful drape.

The highlight of the piece is the ornate kiss-lock frame, which is beautifully embossed with a detailed floral and foliage motif. The frame is topped with a sturdy, curved handle and a classic double-ball clasp that shuts securely. The bottom of the purse is finished with a delicate chain fringe, adding movement and a touch of sophistication.

The mesh is intact without any noticeable holes or major repairs. The silver plating shows a beautiful, authentic patina consistent with age, which can be polished for a brighter shine or left as is for a vintage look. The clasp and hinges are fully functional.

Will be carefully packaged and shipped with track & trace.
