This elegant clutch bag dates from the Art Deco era. 

Condition Report:

Very Good - Some wear to the silk near the clasp, a small burn to the silk and a little loss of thread near the face of one Geisha and the internal pockets have slightly lost their elasticity. These minor issues do not detract from the overall appeal of the bag.

This beautiful and well preserved example of cut steel design dates from the early to mid 1800s.

Condition Report:

Very Good - A couple of the cut steel studs are potentially missing. However, the design is so busy, it is difficult to tell if there are losses or if there are just omissions in the design. All of the studs are in shining, excellent condition, which is very rare for a cut steel piece.
