It's gorgeous Betty! Congratulations on a very fine and old purse. The reappearance of lost in transit packages gives me some hope that maybe some day my lost package will turn up.
Below is very similar work. In good silver with a signature panel of the silversmith. The stone is a garnet.
Wow, that's beautiful - is it yours? And can you place it in terms of age? The filigree work is indeed very similar...
I particularly like the round dangles at the bottom. Looks like they are "boxes" too. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Beautiful Betty, I have admired this type of fillegrain boxes which have been on display earlier.
And now you have one in your possession? A real treasure to be admired.
Actually reading the different messages and seeing another stunning box I am confused are they yours or Lynn's? Or each owns one?
Thank you Ingrid. The belt purse (semi-oval piece on dark background) shown above is mine. Hillary posted silver filigree amulet box below featuring similar decorations. Hence the confusion :)
Thank you Betty for the clarification. You for sure do have a prescious lovely item. I always loved it.
Well done.
I am actually going to part with it, Ingrid. But I have another one, all solid silver and done in a cut-out fashion, that even wear quite often. I'd love to keep this too, but I sometimes have to part with a piece.
Hi Betty, We do have this piece. It has some other great dangles at the bottom, filigree hirz. We have some photos on facebook right now.
Beautiful filigree work, Betty. And in such good condition :))
