Art Nouveau Era
Amity Tooled Leather Bag/Purse
with decorative
Jemco Floral Wristlet Frame
Strap: 6 3/4 inches (measured doubled as shown)
Purse: 6 inches tall, and 6 inches wide
Framed is marked "JEMCO" in two places on underside
Inside of purse marked "AMITY"
Such a wonderful find, in wonderful condition!
The leather is two-toned, with brown in the center and black along the borders.
The Jemco frame is so sweet, lined with a floral motif on the front side,
and a lovely flower (rose?) clasp.
A 'wristlet' strap is always harder to find. On this one
there is a small area where the stitching has started to unravel.
There's some normal discoloration on the inside of the purse frame.
Take a look at the inside of the purse--nice and clean. I didn't need to
do much with this purse other than give it a gentle cleaning with a
trusted leather conditioner.

Just a quick note--I am not an expert, but I do try my best to
identify items as accurately as possible. Gemstones can be tricky,
but I do test to at least discern whether it is
real or simply glass. I may not always be able to identify the precise stone.

Thanks For Looking!
