This is a very nice Art Deco Era Whiting and Davis flapper style handbag.
The
body of the bag is made of soldered steel mesh, decorated in the
Dresden style with orange, blue, yellow, brown and white enamel.
The inside carries two tags, one marked 'Whiting & Davis', the other 'Elsa'.
The purse is in good vintage condition for its age and use. The only flaw is some the sating liner coming loose from the bag.
The
body of the purse measures 6.5" from the top of the clasp to the base
of the mesh. The clasp/lip of the purse measures 4" across. The chain
measures 12" in total length.
