Antique Italian Purse- top Metallic Thread on Silk- Evening Bag- Collectible Rare Exquisite

An exquisite little purse with gorgeous detail. Made of silk with metallic lace and trim. I purchased this in Italy at a little tucked away antique shop. It was calling my name and I couldn't resist! I would date this from the mid 1800's, maybe earlier.
With minimal surface wear. The condition is not bad for its age. The inside is clean top and intact. Zoom in for close up detail.
Measures 7" x 5". This would be a wonderful addition to your collection!
