Petite Minaudiere Purse miniature Hard metal Gold case crystal jewel rhinestone flowers Vintage box evening SMALL handbag bag Italy signed

The holidays are coming and it is time to bring out the bling. This petite ( 5" x 5"  not counting the handle) brilliant gold footed purse has a gilt metal  decoration with crystal rhinestone flowers. Inside it has gold calf leather and it is marked ITALY and the makers name which I can't make out. The inside has an extra pocket inside for small things. The brushed gold metal really makes this sparkle in the light. Perfect for the red carpet. The purse is 8" tall when you raise the hinged hard handle. Lots of work in making this I am sure. The fact it is so small makes it something that you can take with you anywhere. The feet allow you to put it down without scratching the bottom. It has been well cared for. Very little gold wear. To close it you hold it together tightly and push the button and it locks it. An unusual way to lock it,but it works. The photos don't do this justice and it is is definitely a quality handbag. I am not a purse aficionado so please ask all the questions you like, because this because it is a beautiful accessory that you don't see any more and it is as found.      Ask about our ten percent off special before you buy, it could save you a lot of money.   VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our pieces regardless of which site it comes from.All layaway payments will need to be in the form of a check or money order only.
