Please refer to the photographs for an accurate color depiction, as the video may not accurately represent the color.

Piece Number: 25376

Appraiser Notes:
Please note that the central gem in this purse tests consistent with glass, different to the six surrounding natural emeralds. We wanted to honor the original condition in which we received this piece, and so we have left this green glass in place, as it is a testament to the long life of this purse and the storied journeys it has undoubtedly been on. We are more than happy to replace the glass with an emerald of the same size, upon request at no charge, as a complimentary a way to make this incredible item more tailored to you.

This purse features several stamps that appear to be the French owl import stamp for 18k gold, though the marks are worn. This stamp was implemented in 1893 and indicates gold items of 18k gold that were crafted elsewhere and then imported into France.

The wonderful engraved motifs include flowing flourishes, flowers, and a central flaming torch flanked by outstretched feathered wings. Their meaning is fascinating to ponder.

Metal: 18k Yellow Gold
Main Stone: Emerald
Additional Stones: Old Mine Cut Diamond, Green Glass
Age: 1890s
Condition: Very good condition, not eye-visible, seen under 10x magnification: minor wear to one diamond.

Some overall surface wear to gold, some minor irregularities to mesh, minor smoothing to engraved design, some denting to engraved areas at front right corner and reverse left corner, and few minor dings to handle chain links.
