An art deco gala purse with gemstones. An exceptional and colorful purse, created in Europe during the art deco period, back in the 1925, most probably in Germany or Austria, It was carefully crafted with strong geometric patterns and chinoiserie style in solid sterling silver of .935/.999 and embellished with applications of green and blue enamels. The enamels are realized with the difficult technique of the trompe L'Oeil simulating color gemstones such; the green malachite and the blue lapis lazuli. This bag is fitted with a double links chain and the silk fabric inside was recently refinished and the outside with a luxury purple velvet. This piece is very similar in style and craftmanship to the works created by the German jewelers Theodor Fahrner and Louis Kuppenheim.

Chinoiserie The term chinoiserie is from the French word chinois, meaning “Chinese” and refers to European artistic style that reflects the influence of China and is characterized by the use of Chinese designs, asymmetry, whimsical changes in size, the use of lacquered materials and abundant decoration. . Chinoiserie entered Europe in about the last quarter of the 17th century and reached its peak in the mid-18th century, when it was assimilated by Rococo. Trompe L'œil This is a French term for 'deceive the eye'. Is an artistic term for the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface. Trompe l'oeil, which is most often associated with painting, tricks the viewer into perceiving painted objects or spaces as real. Forced perspective is a related illusion in architecture.
