Condition
Overall very good condition. The bronze surfaces present with bright, lustrous gilding with scattered minor surface irregularities inherent in the making and which enhance the naturalism of the mounts and handle. The black silk is in very good condition. The reverse side of the bag with a very minor bend to the material, likely due to opening and closing of the bag. An extremely charming and fashionable item with delicate and finely executed details.
