Austrian Floral

This Austrian floral measures 8" by 7 1/2" without the fringe which adds another 1 1/2". The center medallion has three roses while the rest of the purse is divided into little boxes with a tiny rose in each. A label attached at the top reads, "Made in Austria". Due to the little row of gold loops at the top of the fringe, the purse has identified this as Ada Grunfeld. This purse is sewn shut, and has tissue inside. Most likely imported to the United States to be lined and a frame added.

Collection of Kathy Glaeser
