Extraordinary Vintage Micro Stitched
Item Number: 1054
Age: Vintage
Price: $950
Dimensions: 8.5inches x 6 inches
Petit Point Purse with marcasite jeweled frame. It must be Austrian as they made the finest petit point handbags in the world. The scene depicts what is believed to be The Angel Gabriel ascending to Heaven in his chariot pulled by horses and lead by angels, accompanied by an entourage of followers. The scene is the same on both Sides. It is lined in a lovely bronze silk satin which is immaculate. The inside has 3 pockets and a mirror. In excellent vintage condition and none of the marcasites are missing. Fine hand stitched petit point purses are still made in Vienna today, but they all have the same frame, none jeweled,and the scenes are not nearly as detailed as this little work of art.
