Description
- Chaumet
The purse of textured woven design comprising of a comb, lipstick holder, powder compact and a card case, the purse decorated centrally with brilliant-cut diamonds, opening to reveal a fitted mirror, length approximately 180mm, signed and purse numbered 4946, compact case numbered 6230.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 0.50 carat, are probably I colour, VS clarity. All signed, both the purse and powder compact case numbered, with maker's marks. Total karat gold weighs approximately 550 grams.
Condition: General abrasions to the metal, commensurate with age. The comb appears to have internal "cracks", which may be caused by aging of plastic. Some oxidation to the mirror reflection. Overall in good condition.
