About the Item
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE STERLING SILVER LADIES HANDBAG OF EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY WITH THE FACES OF FIVE WOMEN MAIDENS WITH EXTRAORDINARY FLOWING HAIR THAT ENCIRCLES AND ENTWINES THE FIVE MAIDENS BY THE ESTEEMED MAKER UNGER BROTHERS. THE MESH SILVER HANDBAG HAS THE REPOUSSE SILVER DESIGN OF THE WOMEN'S FACES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BAG.
This is truly one of the finest Sterling Silver purses we have seen. The purse is hallmarked Sterling with a maker's mark. The beautiful mesh work of the bag with its wonderful star shaped medallions creates a silky sensual bag. The surmount of the bag is extraordinary with the deep repousse images of the maiden's faces encircled by their flowing hair. The faces are in three different poses, facing front at the center, then in profile, then in 3/4 pose. This design is exquisite. The images in Sterling Silver are the work of a master artisan.
We have included a movie with images of the bag as well other items that are available.
The handbag is in excellent condition. It opens and closes securely.
The handbag itself is 4 3/4 inches (12cm) tall by 2 3/4 inches (7.5cm) wide.
With the handle the bag hangs down 6 3/4 inches.
The interior is hallmarked with Sterling with the Unger Bros. maker's mark.
The handbag weighs 66 grams.
