This late 19th-century French silver coin purse is crafted in the distinctive chainmail technique of the era, a testament to the craftsmanship of Art Nouveau. The body, woven from tightly linked, hand-finished silver rings, creates a dense, flexible mesh with a tactile, historic texture. The frame is highlighted by a twisted, rope-like silver border, offering an ornamental outline to the purse's fluid silhouette. The clasp features two smooth, polished silver spheres forming a secure snap closure, while the lower edge is adorned with six evenly spaced silver ball pendants, lending movement and decorative charm. The purse includes two inner compartments for practical organization and an attachment for a chain or ribbon, confirming its intended function as a wearable accessory. The overall finish is a cool, matte-satin silver with a soft, uniform antique patina. No visible damage, dents, or repairs are present; the condition is very good, with preserved historical surface and gentle silver sheen.This purse carries the voice of refined late 19th-century Paris, when applied arts sought harmony between fluid lines and artisanal mastery. The silver mesh evokes a delicate armor for treasured coins, while the playful dangling spheres at the bottom almost whisper tales as they sway to the owner's steps. Its details echo the Art Nouveau
