Vintage beautiful black evening bag has what looks like a gilded metal top and clasp with what I think is marcasite (polished iron pyrites) decoration. Has a brass chain link handle. Attractively pleated material. Label says British made. Cream lining with pocket. 

Condition good.

From style estimate that the bag dates from 1930s onwards.

 

The bag was found in my great Aunt’s house. She was a model for some of her life and a wonderful vibrant character. Please see photos. Please see other garments, etc from her wardrobe.
