This is a beautiful pouch purse from around 1900, possibly a bit earlier. They were popular up until around the 1930s. It measures 9" wide and 11" tall. It is a deep ecru colored cotton, likely tea or coffee dyed. The entire construction is handmade with fine guage crocheting. It has one thread at the bottom that needs to be stitched back together. The condition is astounding for a cotton piece from the era.


This purse would make an excellent display piece, and it's also  in perfectly usable condition. It is an absolutely lovely display of antique craftsmanship, and I know you'll be delighted to own it.
