This pattern is repeated fully on the back. The purse is finished with a script initial 'B' to the central oval cartouche and the year '1917' engraved to the lower r/h side. The body is hinged, fitted with a push down clasp and belcher chain with finger ring. The interior is the original tan kid leather and is divided into three compartments. This elegant piece would have been probably used for evenings and cocktail parties and would make a lovely gift idea.
