{"product_id":"antique-turkish-pencil-case-copy","title":"Antique Cut Steel Beaded Pansy Chatelaine Purse","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"617\"\u003eA striking antique cut steel purse featuring densely set faceted steel beads, catching light with a metallic shimmer. The hinged top is decorated with repoussé pansy motifs—long associated with the sentiment “think of me”—adding a layer of old world symbolism to the piece. Suspended from a short chain, this would have been worn at the waist by fashionable turn-of-the-century women. Looped steel bead fringe along the base adds movement. This piece is beautiful however best suited for display. A compelling example of late 19th to early 20th century metalwork, this does have visible wear throughout in the form of oxidation and wear to the leather pouch. This little treasure would be beautiful hung on the wall as a display item. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"871\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"630\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"633\"\u003eSize: Approximately 8 inches from top of chain to bottom of fringe\u003cbr data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"702\"\u003eWidth: Approximately 4 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"734\"\u003eCut steel beads on leather backing\u003cbr data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"771\"\u003eRepoussé floral frame with pansy motif\u003cbr data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"812\"\u003eChain suspension, belt\/chatelaine style\u003cbr data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"854\"\u003eCirca 1890–1910\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"889\"\u003eWorn antique condition.
