Made during the 1920-30's, as epic skyscrapers like the Empire State Building and Chrysler building went up, this deco bag depicts the excitement of city life. One of the most fashionable items of the time was a dainty enameled mesh handbag by Whiting & Davis, with pop culture patterns. We adore this black-and-white design that honors both city and garden with powerful looming buildings and delicate floral blooms. A collector's treasure that remains usable today.
Measures 5" wide and 5" long, plus 1" of fringe trim. Very good condition with no missing links, some wear to enamel and minor kinks in chain. Handle and store with care, avoiding excessive temperature, moisture, and chemicals.
