Antique Gorham Art Nouveau Ornate STERLING Silver Purse Frame with Chatelaine

Description

Take a look at this unique, rare, antique GORHAM Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Purse with chatelaine hook.
Features ornate repose grotesque and scroll motif on frame and conforming chatelaine hook.
Purse frame & chatelaine hook include matching model numbers (B8 20M) and the Gorham trade mark. Both are marked sterling. Includes original chain mail mesh purse with 9 decorative beads. The purse chain is intact, and the clasp opens & closes.
Frame measures 4 1/4" wide.
Purse measures 6" long from clasp to bottom bead.
Chatelaine figure measures 2" long.
Condition is very good. There are very minor tears in the chain mail mesh where the frame ends meet the mesh at the corners. These can most likely be repaired. Please review photos carefully (as these issues have been highlighted) and contact me with questions.
This item belonged to my great-grandmother. It's beautiful, unique and special item, but has been sitting in my drawer for many, many years. I would like to find someone who will appreciate it much more than I have!
Thanks for checking out my listing!
