AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A splendid set of 4 antique chainmail purses, each with unique fine details and clasps.
The purses are in good condition considering their age.
They were often worn as a status symbol and fashion accessory by ladies of the upper classes.
For the two purses with the curved handle, repairs are needed, as several links have come loose from the hoops (see, among other things, the photos).
The hoops are richly decorated with flowers and garlands and have a "kiss lock" closure.
Three purses are also equipped with a hanging eyelet, allowing them to be worn on a chain or on clothing.
The two purses with the curved handle have at the bottom a charming, frilly scalloped fringe.
The dimensions of the purses are:
- the rectangular small purse h x w = 6.5 x 6 cm.
- the other rectangular purse h x w = 8 x 6 cm.
- the two remaining purses 9 x 6.5 cm.
Together the purses weigh 150 grams.
The photos are part of the description.
The 4 purses will be carefully packed for shipping, but can also be picked up in Haarlem.
