We are pleased to be able to offer this. Stunning Extremely Rare Early Victorian Silver & faux TORTOISESHELL Carved Dogs Head Mounted Ladies Purse. I would estimate this rare purse dates to circa 1850 making it nearly 170 years old, this beautiful Victorian purse is crafted in faux Tortoiseshell with curved edges giving it a wonderful tactile feel, the colours are beautiful with rich deep oranges and browns creating such a superb effect, to the front it is mounted with the most beautiful yet unique very special carved dog head image, this is so very rare and has the most amazing detail, from the dogs very life like unusual eyes, his detailed nose and his very beautiful long hair, I would say this must be a female dog as the dog has a lovely bow to the top of her head, I have never seen a carved dog head like this ever, its so very rare, on the other side is a solid silver cartouche, the hinges work well and I believe are a white metal, the quality of the craftsmanship is superb, this would have once belonged to a wealthy Victorian Lady and been used on many an occasion, many years ago when things were so very different, this would have been a talking point as it is so unusual and rare, my photos really don’t do it justice, you will not find another like this on the market. Circa 1850, though maybe earlier. 7 cm by 5 cm. The condition for its age is lovely, just one small pin missing, there is no clasp for closing, though it appear there never was a clasp, there is just a little spring back when closed, that being said it doesnt detractat all from its rare beauty, just mentioned for accuracy. Please study the photos as these form an integral part of the description. An unquestionably exquisite and fine addition for any uncompromising collector or as a display piece. A final few words.

Antique French WOOD PEDIMENT ARCHITECTURAL Salvage WALNUT VENEER PROBABLY 19Th. This vintage French wooden Faux Bamboo wall mirror green painted. The wooden frame is carved to resemble bamboo, a design very much in vogue in the early 1900s-1920s France. The pieces have the perfect size to hang just about anywhere. Measuring approximately 20 1/2 by 171/4 at its widest (the mirror itself is 1340 by 10). One is authentically old, the reflective coating of the mirror has a few tiny black age spots and very limited surface scratching, nothing really shocking considering its advanced age (a date in the back: see close up). The other is very recent; he had to be replaced. The frame earned some marks and an attractive green color with age. This vintage mirror will just lend an instant touch of French authenticity to any room décor or bathroom with its antique feel and superb Faux Bamboo design painted.
