This exquisite Victorian-era stumpwork purse is a rare example of high-end, 19th-century craftsmanship, providing a unique opportunity for a collector or restorer.

Hand-embroidery with metallic couching and raised stumpwork creates a stunning three-dimensional scene. One side depicts a knight with a spear. The other side shows a regal figure in ermine-trimmed robes.

The ornate frame features intricate floral scrollwork and an attached

chain-link strap.
