The Details...
This clutch bag is constructed from a velvet devoré floral fabric, which has then been embroidered in blue and gold thread. The bag is lined with a cream shantung silk and features two large internal compartments, one flap pocket and one purse pocket with a metal kiss clasp. The inside of the front flap of the bag features a window pane section, which may have originally housed a mirror, but is now lined with a vintage French postcard. The bag closes with a press stud. The bag is stamped 'Made in France' and features a makers mark too. However, this is indecipherable, as it has been worn over time. The bag measures 20cm x 15cm x 5cm.

Wear it With...

The jewellery within the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection has survived to this day because it has been well cared for throughout its lifetime. It is important to continue to care for the jewellery that you buy from us to ensure its continued preservation. Here are some suggestions:
- Be sure to store your jewellery within the boxes that we provide to ensure that it is protected. This is especially important when travelling with your pieces.
- Try not to get perfume or hairspray on your items. These liquids can damage the materials that our jewellery is made from.
- Try not to drop your jewellery or catch your jewellery against hard surfaces. If this happens over time, the findings and fixings can loosen and wear.
- Try not to get your jewellery wet. Some costume jewellery manufacturers utilised water soluble glue in the making of their pieces. Getting your jewellery wet could cause rhinestones and other details to fall away over time.
- If you wish to clean your jewellery, use a soft polishing cloth or a soft brush.

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.
