FINE AND RARE, SOCK PURSE, EARLY

Just look at this, what a finely detailed little item. It measures just about 5 inches long by a couple of inches across at the widest point on the frame.. Ideal for your favourite doll - in her trunk, hand or just for display.

I have not seen one of these little early crochet purses before in the shape of a sock - and it is mint condition. The frame is fine quality and the work is exquisite. The colours are still bright. The frame has a miniature finger ring and this will enable a Bebe or Parisienne - or an early Wooden - to hold the purse perhaps with the aid of a little ribbon. What I find endearing is there is a tiny little coin sewn into the purse - I have taken a photo showing the coin and the photo is a little blurred but hopefully it can be seen. It is a tiny Georgian coin dating from 1800. I would suggest the little purse is indeed Georgian also. Although this purse has photographed reasonably well, the purchaser will be delighted when handling it - it is better than I can capture in my photos. I am finding it increasingly difficult to find such rare accessories for my collectors, so if you are interested in this purse please do contact me as soon as possible.

This Rare Early Sock Purse is priced at £125.
