Old Hand Stitched French Envelope Purse - French Grey & Linen White (No.1)
£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 a geometric design in stitches of French grey and linen white. 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.
It has the initial L embroidered on the underside and three fastening shell buttons.
Unsure if this was a keepsake purse or a sewing case for crochet/needlework or a child's pencil case.
Approx 150 years old.
Measures 25cm x 11cm when closed.
