AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful reticule purse from the Belle Époque period (around 1890–1910), made of 800‰ silver, stamped with the boar's head, the official French mark for small silver objects between 1838 and 1962.

The rectangular frame features an elegant twisted pattern decor, typical of the late 19th century. The mesh is extremely fine, perfectly regular, and fully preserved, demonstrating meticulous artisanal craftsmanship. The small decorative balls at the bottom of the reticule are original and intact.

The interior features an additional compartment, also in mesh, which enhances the quality and refinement of the piece. The closing mechanism works flawlessly.
