ABOUT PRODUCTID 11387
This coin purse from the 1920s, crafted in Poland, exemplifies the artisanal precision of the Art Deco era. Its body is formed from a supple mesh of silver-plated brass tiles, joined to create a uniform, satin-matte surface in a warm, slightly yellowed silver tone. The cylindrical closure features an intricate floral engraving and small decorative rivets, echoing the ornamental tendencies of early twentieth-century design. A discreet ring at the closure allows the purse to be attached to a chatelaine or chain. The construction is meticulous, with a seamless transition between the mesh and the closure, the entire piece draping fluidly in the hand. The condition is very good—only faint signs of aging are present, such as gentle darkening and minimal surface wear, with no significant damage or repairs.In this purse, the quiet rhythm of interwar Poland is reflected; daily accessories became subtle adornments. The soft gleam of the mesh and the delicate silver patina evoke images of parlors filled with conversation and the gentle sound of coins. The floral engraving on the closure carries echoes of a time when utility and ornamentation formed a harmonious whole, and even the smallest accessory spoke to the owner's sense of taste.The purse may serve as a collectible accent in a cabinet of antiques or be displayed atop an Art Deco vanity alongside jewelry boxes, perfume bottles, and silver trinkets. It could be paired with other period accessories—brooches, pocket watches—or contrasted with contemporary objects to highlight the interplay of old and new. Placed on a console in an entryway or in a collector's study, it becomes a subtle detail inviting conversation about the history of objects.
