FAQs

Chainmail and metal mesh bags gained immense popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, reaching a peak in the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s as fashionable evening wear accessories for holding small essentials.

These purses were traditionally constructed from thousands of interlocking rings or stamped metal mesh plates made from sterling silver, silver-plated brass, or German silver, often featuring soldered frames and fringe drops.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit maker marks or silver hallmarks on the frame, hand-soldered links rather than modern machine welding, and natural patina or light oxidisation consistent with age.

A vintage metal mesh bag can be displayed as an objet dart by mounting it in a shadow box or placing it on a decorative tray within a dressing room or library to add historical texture.

Preservation requires storing the bag flat in an acid-free tissue to prevent stretching of the delicate mesh, avoiding harsh chemical silver dips, and limiting exposure to high humidity to prevent tarnishing.
