Unknown age on this petit point embroidered purse as I purchased it at an estate sale. Both sides have the same floral design. Along the sides and bottom is a single row of additional embroidered flowers.
The bangle handle measures 3.25 inches across. Closure is with a snap clasp highlighted with a green jade cabochon stone. The stone has been tested using a Presidium Gem tester and tested positive as jade. The bangle handle attaches to the cloth portion with a filigreed metal frame. There are 3 small metal bands at the bottom of the jade handle that attaches it to the metal frame and there are some small light colored dark spots on the bands. (You can see them in my photo). The purse measures 9 inches side to side by 6.25 inches top to bottom. Those measurements were taken at the widest points.
The inside is in excellent condition. I believe the lining is satin, but not sure. There is one side pocket inside. Judging by the condition of the inside, I'd say if this purse was ever uses, it wasn't more than a time or two.
The overall condition is excellent. There are no stains, loose threads, or tears.
EXPLANATION OF SHIPPING CHARGES:
Google will not include items in their search pages unless a shipping charge is stated or unless calculated shipping is offered. Calculated shipping is very often quoted incorrectly so I choose to post a charge using the east coast as the destination. If you live in or near Arizona, your charges may be less and if so I will refund a portion of those charges. If you feel uncomfortable with that, just send me an email with your zipcode and I'll quote you an exact delivery charge.
That being said, buyer to pay no more than $9.95 for Insured USPS Priority Mail delivery charges, again, possibly less depending on your location.
I gladly combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can safely fit into a single package. It is best if possible to contact me first to let me know which items you'll be purchasing so that I can adjust the shipping charges, otherwise at checkout you will be charged the full shipping fee for each item. Should that happen, and if appropriate to do so, I refund a portion of those charges.
NOTE - With this year's postal increase, all shipping charges increased and international shipping took a tremendous leap. International shipping will now depend on the country. Buyer must contact seller for international shipping charges before making a purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
