Egyptian Surround Frame celluloid purse

Egyptian Surround Frame

Posted: June 15, 2011 
Theme: Egyptian Revival

Description

It always amazes me that we can still come across never-before-seen celluloid frames. This purse, owned by Kathy Gunderson, has an unusual structure. Instead of being just a celluloid frame at the top of the purse body, this celluloid frame surrounds the purse. The petit point purse body is a replacement, leaving me wondering what the original purse looked like. This frame is very unusual. I have only seen one other. A similar (but not exact match) purse frame was one of the examples in Ellen Foster’s 2009 presentation. What a find!

Value: 7-8 out of 10, with 10 being the most expensive.
