A small antique gold mesh purse, crafted in 9 carat yellow gold and dating to the early 1910s.
The purse features an intricately woven mesh body, formed entirely from fine gold links that drape fluidly, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of goldsmiths from the era.
The frame is smooth and rounded, finished with a simple kiss-lock clasp with two rounded gold ends that sit neatly at the top.
Along the lower edge, a row of tiny gold bead drops adds gentle movement to the mesh, lending the piece an elegant touch.
It opens to reveal a cleverly designed compartment that expands and drapes gracefully when open, then folds back neatly when closed. A small suspension ring at the top allows it to be worn as a pendant as well as used as a miniature purse.
Measuring approximately 6.7 × 4.5 cm and weighing 13.85 grams. Stamped 9ct.
Ideal for keeping small treasures or coins safely tucked away, this piece is a true find for lovers of antique curiosities, collectors of fine gold accessories, or anyone who appreciates timeless craftsmanship.
