Tiny Antique French retailer Gunmetal Mesh Chatelaine Coin Purse / Victorian Mourning

Fantastic antique French gunmetal chatelaine purse, suitable to be worn during mourning

{ca 1890}

Beautifully woven mesh made out of genuine gunmetal - very hard to find.

Kiss closure with a loop for attaching to a chatelaine (or to use as a pendant).

Measures 2 1/2" high and 1 3/4" wide.

Beautiful condition, especially considering the age. The mesh is intact and well attached to the frame. Only two dangling balls remain - they could be removed for a more uniformed look and used as earring drops! retailer
