#20-193- Sphinx Moire Silk Purse -
Era - 1920s Measurements - 6 x 4 Label - has French name stamped in change purse, but I cannot read it Fabric - silk moire
Really fabulous purse this was in my own collection for several years. It is a silk moire with the image of an Egyptian Sphinx and pyramids in the design of the moire. How did they do that?
The sphinx is on the front and back and on the two inside panels when you open the sides. It has a strap cord which runs
down each side and ends with a tassel. The cord runs through metal rings at the top and bottom on both sides of the bag.
The rings have tiny marcasites on them. The bag is open in the middle, and each side unsnaps and lifts up to reveal inner
compartments lined in ivory silk. There is aheavy mirror attached to the top of the ivory lining. Inside is an old make-up
powder puff and a little silk bag with a snap closure and a small piece of nail file paper is on the front of the little bag,
in case of broken nail emergencies! That side of the bag has several pockets and a loop for a tube of lipstick.
There is also a silk moire change purse with initials done in marcasites too. The change purse is lined in white leather
in where the change goes, and it also has a side that snaps open and has layered pockets for cards. There is a maker's
name stamped in gold along the bottom. It's French, and I can't really read it. Finally, the other side of the bag snaps
and lifts open the same as the 1st side, revealing another ivory silk lined compartment with an ivory silk change purse
that is also lined in leather. There's the sphinx on that side too. Now isn't that such a cool bag! When I first saw it,
I was like 'hey, is that a sphinx?' I've never seen a design done in moire like that, and I couldn't even begin to guess
how they do it.
Condition - The bag is in very good condition. The outside silk nearly excellent with just a few teeny stress spots on the very bottom edge.
The ivory silk lining does have some shattering on some of the pockets. The silk is shattered on the ivory chage purse.
Overall it is an excellent and rare piece and can be used with care.
