Old Hand Stitched French Envelope Purse - Linear Florals
£21.50
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 delicate flora design and scalloped edges. 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 name Jeanne embroidered to the left.
Unsure if this was a keepsake purse or a sewing case for crochet/needlework or a child's pencil case.
Approx 120 years old. There's a few marks from its journey.
Measures 25cm x 13cm when closed.
