Antique micro-petit point evening bag, dating to the Art Deco era (circa 1920s–1930s).

The secure kiss-lock closure features a prominent matching amethyst stone cap and an integrated drop-ring latch. The purse is complete with its original, heavy double-link gold-tone chain handle. • Era: Art Deco / Gilded Age (c. 1920s–1930s) • Technique: Hand-Stitched Micro-Petit Point Condition: Very Good
