EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning late 19th century costume bag from the Netherlands is a true work of art. Made of luxurious silk and silver, this woman's bag features intricate detailing that showcases the craftsmanship of the time. The silver frame is adorned with embossed figures, including Poseidon or Neptune with his trident, adding a touch of mythology to this elegant accessory.
The black silk velvet body is decorated with small pom-poms, giving it a playful yet sophisticated look. Inside, there are two compartments lined with yellow corded silk damask, providing both style and functionality.
This chatelaine bag was not only a fashionable accessory but also a practical one for women in the late 19th century. The silver hallmarked hook allowed it to be easily attached to clothing or accessories, making it convenient for carrying essentials on-the-go.
Now part of the Glasgow Museums collection in the UK, this piece serves as a reminder of the history and fashion trends of Europe in the 19th century. Its timeless design and exquisite materials make it a valuable addition to any collection or display showcasing historical textiles and accessories.
