#1045 - Mandalian Mesh Purse
 
Of all the types of antique purses I see and work with, I love Mandalian mesh purses the most.  This vibrant yellow, orange and dark turquoise purse is in wonderful condition. All the chain is there at the bottom, no "armpit" loss, all the enameling is bright with no chipping.  The embossed frame is fabulous, though tarnished.  I prefer to leave them that way but it could be polished up with a cloth.   Marked "Mandalian Mfg Co." on inside of frame.  7 1/2" high, 3 5/8" wide.  Chain adds another 5 1/2".
