Old Hand Stitched French Envelope Purse - Hydrangeas and Bows

 

£23.00

This is part of a collection I purchased that originates from the loft of an old French chateaux.

A beautiful hand stitched French envelope purse decorated with hand embroidered hydrangeas and bows.  The threads have been hand dyed so the colour has dispersed in areas into the base linen (which is lovely).  This is such a rare find and of some age. Every detail is beautiful, the linen is beautifully softened with age. It is in travelled condition. 


Unsure if this was a keepsake purse or a sewing case for crochet/needlework or a child's pencil case. There is a single shell button fastener to close.

Approx 140 years old. There's a few marks from its journey.

 

Measures 25cm x 13cm when closed.
