Petit Point & Tapestry Facts & Tips

 


Antique Hand Made Needlepoint Clutch, ca. 1900 - 1920


<<<< Back to Petit Point, Tapestry & Fabric Purses page 2

 

This wonderful antique needlepoint clutch came from a private collection of purses that were very well cared for and never or barely used.

This early 1900's or perhaps Victorian clutch shows no signs of ever being carried, it is in splendid desirable condition, hard to find one nicer.






 

   

The beige or ecru colored background and the colorful florals are showing well in my photos. It's amazing that this purse has no fading that I detect. The tones are bright and varied and the needlepoint is very well executed, the purse is flawless. I see no snags or problems with this purse, not even any soiling or signs of handling, it's quite lovely. The pattern is the same on both sides but you will notice in the photo of the rear of the purse, a sweet and charming heart that has been worked into the theme, perhaps this was the way that the needle pointer signed their work. What ever the case, it is a delightful addition.

   

The sides and bottom are also decorated in the same way. The brass frame is very heavy which leans me to believing that this clutch may be older than I think. The metal work has a nice etched design with a zigzag and arrow pattern and sun rays at the corners. The clasp lift up to open the purse and closes well with a gentle snap. The brass is still nice and shiny showing just a little aged patina but not too much at all.  You will be very pleased with the condition of this clutch. The interior is lined with a super quality satin. There are dual pockets, a comb in it's own comb slot and a  little coin purse attached by a delicate chain, what more could you ask for and all in excellent condition. Stuffed with tissue, this clutch measures 4¾ in height by 7 at it's widest and the sides have an inch of depth. This small little clutch will carry your key, lipstick, hanky or small accessories and will be an admired accessory to your wardrobe.
