Antique Mesh Evening Bag 1900s 1910s Handpainted Watercolor Whiting Davis
Impressionist watercolor print of pink and yellow forms appear as dream like scapes across the silver mesh body of the bag - front and back. A row of mesh fringe hangs form the hem. The bag opens on an ornate, gold toned framed with beads and embroidery and features a kiss clasp. Paperclip style handstrap in gold completes the look. The interior is silk lined in a pale green and has a small pocket.
Perfect for a handkerchief, a credit card, and a lipstick!
Label: stamped "Whiting & Davis" on interior of frame
Condition: Exterior is excellent but lining is poor. The frame is shiny and bright, the mesh i all intact with no tears or missing links or stains. Interior satin lining has tearing, commensurate with the age of the bag. I would remove the lining and use it as is.
