Stunning Silk Stitch

Description

French c.1920's silk stitched purse with an enameled frame. The design is atypical for a silk stitched purse. It depicts 18th century French farm scenes instead of the more common scene of a courting couple. Both sides are different and the designs are highly detailed.

Collection of Paula Higgins
