Bidspirit auction | Reed & Barton 900 Silver

Reed & Barton 900 Silver Mesh Purse - Reed & Barton silver mesh evening bag, stamped sterling on the frame though testing confirms 900 silver content—a common practice among fine metalwork makers of this era. The body measures 6.5 inches long and 6 inches wide, with a delicate 7-inch chain strap suitable for evening wear. The frame features a classic ball-topped clasp with intricate mesh detailing at the hinge points, and the mesh itself shows the tight, even construction typical of quality vintage purses from this maker. Condition is excellent with all hardware secure and functioning; the seller notes a few potentially missing links in the extensive mesh work, but they are not visually apparent. A refined accessory for the serious vintage jewelry and metalwork collector. DWT 136.6
