FAQs

A Victorian petit point evening purse is a small handheld accessory popular in the late 19th century, featuring needlepoint embroidery attached to a decorative metal frame. Often crafted with sterling silver mountings, these purses were designed to carry small essentials during formal evening events.

These purses typically combine textiles such as silk, wool, or canvas with precious metal mountings. The embroidery utilizes small stitches known as petit point, while frames were commonly crafted from sterling silver or silver plate with cast, chased, or pierced ornamentation.

Authentic late Victorian silver purses feature official hallmarks indicating the silver purity, city mark, date letter, and makers mark stamped on the metal frame. Additionally, authentic pieces display hand-stitched needlepoint construction rather than machine-manufactured modern textile weaves.

An antique purse can be displayed inside a glass shadow box or cloche to protect the textiles while showing the metalwork. Alternatively, placing it flat on a decorative tray on a sideboard or resting it upright on a bookshelf provides an accent in a dressing room or living space.

Keep the textile dry and stored away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and fibre breakdown. Clean the silver frame carefully with a soft polishing cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners or polishes that could transfer onto and damage the surrounding fabric.
