FAQs

An Edwardian sterling silver purse is a small metallic accessory produced during the early 20th century, typically featuring relief ornament, a frame closure, and an integrated chain handle for carrying personal effects.

These purses were constructed using sterling silver sheet metal formed by die-stamping or hand-repousse techniques, then fitted with a hinged frame, a kiss-lock or snap closure, and soldered chain links.

Authentic silver purses bear official hallmarks indicating silver purity, city assay office marks, maker marks, and date letters stamped along the inner frame or outer rim.

An antique silver purse can be displayed inside glass cabinetry, mounted within shadow boxes as wall art, or worn as a statement vintage accessory for formal occasions.

Clean silver purses gently using a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth, avoiding immersion in chemical dips that can strip dark oxidisation from carved design details.
