Whiting and Davis Art Deco 1930s Vintage Mesh Evening 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.
