1900s Arts & Crafts Embroidered Linen Purse - Authentic Antique Drawstring Bag - Hand Sewn Pink Embroidery - Regency Style - 26297

Innocent flowers hand-embroidered on a beautiful drawstring bag! This turn-of-the-century handbag has a ring of flowers, hand-stitched eyelets and a satin-stitched edge to the opening. Inside along the eyelets there's a small celluloid panel that functions as a handle. Because it's flat, this antique purse would also be lovely framed as wall art.
