AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco Clutch in Solid Silver 800 - 1910s-1920s - 99.3 g - Original Chain
A refined example of goldsmith craftsmanship dating from the 1910s-1920s. This evening bag, a "mesh bag", perfectly embodies the elegance of early Art Deco. Made entirely in solid silver, 800 fineness, the pochette stands out for the extraordinary softness of the metal mesh, crafted to achieve an effect similar to luxurious fabric.
The design is enriched by a refined lower border with festoon work. The snap closure (kiss-lock) with spherical knobs is functional and well aligned.
Important note: The photographs provided are an integral and essential part of the object's description. Please carefully view each image to appreciate the details of the workmanship, the hallmarks, and the condition of the entire mesh and chain, which are clearly visible.
Highlights for Collectors:
Stato di Conservazione (Condition): The mesh and the chain are shown in detail in the photo gallery to attest to their integrity.
Original Chain: The bag retains its original chain, also stamped "800", ensuring the piece's coherence.
Weight: 99.3 grams of solid 800 silver.
Stamps: "800" marks and factory hallmarks visible on both the frame and the mesh of the chain.
Technical Details:
Material: 800 silver (stamped)
Era: 1910s-1920s (Art Deco)
Total weight: 99.3 grams
