Antique WHITING & DAVIS Enameled Mesh Purse Art Deco Design Metal Tag
This vintage (possibly antique) enameled metal mesh purse is by Whiting & Davis and has a small metal hang tag inside with the name and Reg. The basic mesh and frame are silver tone and the enamel colors are rust, blues and yellow in a geometric design. It has a 12 1/2 silver tone carrying chain handle. There are gaps on both sides under the hinges where the mesh has become detached from the little loops but it looks to me like the loops are there and the mesh could be reattached with sufficient dexterity.
It measures 3 3/4" wide at the frame and 6 1/2" long from just under the kissing clasp. Very minor losses to the enamel as seen under the loupe and the decorative silver tone frame and chain have darkened with age but the overall condition is quite acceptable.
