Vintage Belle De Rauch Eau De Toilette Parfum Atomiseur Refill In Box 2oz Paris

This is a gorgeous early Art Deco sterling silver chatelaine purse, coin bag, small handbag or finger bag with a jeweled turquoise and ornate repoussed expansion top. The entire bag is Guaranteed to be solid sterling silver. No plated parts. All consistently sterling silver throughout. Completely original estate item. As is common with these early jeweled bags the gemstone is either glass or a reconstituted mix containing glass. The inside of the top is marked Sterling, old block letters full word mark. The bottom is finished with 3 small sterling beads. From age and use it needs 3 links which are easily accessible and easy to apply. Other than this it is in excellent overall condition. All original. All rivets in the expansion are strong and intact. No looseness or wobble. The stone is also excellent. No cracks or chips. Size of purse without the chain is 4" north to south from top of stone to bottom center bead. Width across east to west is about 2" when open. With the chain the size is 5" from top of finger/chatelaine circle to bottom center bead. These are very hard to find with good repousse expansions and jeweled tops in solid sterling silver. This is a beautiful early bag for your collection or to add to your special chatelaine top.
