A fine early 20th-century Continental Victorian silver and enamel dance purse crafted in 935 sterling silver, an uncommon higher purity silver standard often used in Continental Europe. The purse is decorated with a beautiful purple guilloché enamel panel on one side, radiating a shimmering, engine-turned design beneath the translucent enamel.
The hinged case opens to reveal a well-appointed interior, featuring multiple compartments: a hinged partition with a mirror on one side and a carved bone note tablet for annotations, a hinged money clip, and a compact powder compartment with its own hinged cover. The interior design reflects the elegant multifunctionality typical of high-society dance purses of the Belle Époque and Victorian eras.
