An elegant antique metal mesh evening purse, dating to the early 20th century and most likely the 1910s–1920s.

The bag is constructed from finely interlinked chainmail-style mesh suspended from a rigid metal frame with a classic kiss-lock clasp. A delicate chain rises to a large circular finger ring handle, allowing the purse to be carried from the hand in the characteristic style of Edwardian and 1920s evening accessories.

Along the lower edge, a row of small suspended metal drops adds movement and decorative detail. The soft drape of the mesh contrasts beautifully with the structured frame, giving the purse the refined, tactile quality associated with early 20th-century evening dress.

Small silver mesh purses of this type were popular during the Edwardian era and throughout the 1920s, particularly for theatre, dinner and evening wear. Similar surviving examples were made in sterling silver as well as German silver, a nickel-based alloy developed to imitate the appearance of silver.

A characterful collectible accessory for lovers of antique fashion, Art Deco accessories, Edwardian jewellery, silver mesh purses and early 20th-century evening wear.
