Antique Edwardian Purse Black Velvet Silver Cherub Frame

Charming little cherubs hug and lounge about in this ornate black velvet Edwardian purse, with a gathered pouch style, decorative frame, and fringed tassel, circa 1900.

The elegant and ornate cocktail purse or bag consists of a soft black velvet fabric, and has a silver plated frame with elaborate kissing clasp, a single chain link handle, and silk steel gray lining with interior side pocket.

*Please note that some of the velvet has worn away over time from the very top near the frame as shown, and that there is a bit of silver wear on the kissing clasp itself.

Otherwise, the bag is in very good condition, with fabric and interior remaining vibrant and intact.

The bag itself measures approximately 6&1/2 inches wide and hangs around 9&1/4 inches, from top of frame to base of bag, with an added 5&1/4 inch long tassel.
