Exceptional vintage mid-century metallic hard-shell evening purse
Features a dramatic sculptural clamshell ribbed body in smoky gray smoke-toned sweeping polished gold-tone metal accents, and rows of sparkling rhinestones. Finished with a slender gold-tone chain strap for shoulder or handheld wear.
The deeply molded curved body and ornate metallic detailing give this piece a distinctly glamorous mid-century cocktail-era look. An especially striking example of the decorative hard-shell evening purses that became fashionable during the 1950s.
Hinged construction with top clasp closure and original-style chain strap. Beautiful collector/display piece that remains highly wearable as an evening bag.
Vintage pre-owned condition with age-appropriate surface wear and light scratches. Please review photographs closely for condition and details.
