A Really Lovely Antique French Leather Purse With Copper Repoussé Front. The front panel is decorated in repoussé relief with a lively pastoral scene featuring figures, a musician, a horse, and a dog beneath trees. A warm brass border and fittings provide crisp definition at the edges and reinforce the purse’s rectangular silhouette.
The interior is lined in pink silk, offering a pleasing period contrast to the darker exterior materials. Concertina-style silk compartments create practical sections for coins, notes, receipts, or small personal effects.
* A characterful French purse whose repoussé front reads like a miniature scene in sculpted metal.
