Small Art Deco Silver Mesh Evening Purse – Europe, Circa 1920s–1930s - A small evening purse made of densely linked silver mesh, attached to a rectangular frame with rounded corners and a ball clasp. The lower edge is decorated with suspended fringes terminating in small balls. Fitted with a short carrying chain and a large finger ring. Designed in the Art Deco style and attributed to Europe, probably Central or Eastern Europe. No visible maker’s or regional hallmarks; therefore, the precise place of manufacture remains uncertain. Acid-tested as silver; purity unknown. Dimensions excluding chain: 9 × 6 cm. Total weight: 43.88 g. Patina, wear, deformation, substantial tears and losses to the mesh, particularly inside, along the edges and at its attachment points to the frame. Some lower fringe elements are missing or uneven. Please examine the photographs for condition.
