A truly captivating vintage accessory with wonderful character and presence.
This elegant small coin purse is believed to date from approximately the 1930s–1940s, based on its construction, materials and comparable Art Deco-era purses.
The exterior features a rich dark-brown scaled surface that appears to be genuine lizard skin, beautifully complemented by a warm brass-tone frame. Inside is a striking red satin lining and a soft expandable leather compartment.
It is one of those vintage pieces that immediately draws attention — you simply want to pick it up, open it and hold it in your hand.
Despite its age, this is not only a collectible display piece. It remains fully functional and surprisingly practical today. Perfect for coins, small jewelry, rings or other personal treasures. The side ring also allows a chain or attachment to be added if desired.
A wonderful piece for a collector of vintage fashion accessories, Art Deco items, exotic leather goods, antique purses, or simply for someone who appreciates beautifully made objects from another era.
