Chinese Silk Wedding Purse with Forbidden Stitch stock #J7L3WedPurse
$875
A large and very rare Chinese wedding purse, this unique purse displays colorful Peking forbidden stitch done in patterns displaying various treasures. The inside is of a subtle lavender, while the outside is creme colored with slightly raise geometric designs. This clearly dates it to the early 20's. A bonus feature is fine woven solid silver wire (Not silver wrap) that adorns the sides and has two handles for ease of handling. Condition is excellent with just a very few minor loose threads. The purse body measures 8 1/2 inches length x 6 inches wide. 20" long (top of handles to end of tassel) |
