This antique purse (or basket) is a one-of-a-kind piece of folk art that will add a unique touch to any collection. Handmade with care, this item was made of woven strips of tin, creating a wonderful latice design. Its sharp edges add an extra element of interest and make it a real conversation starter. This purse will make a perfect addition to any vintage accessories collection and will complement any style. Imagine attending the next Met Gala swinging this antique anniversary gift from your wrist and you get the idea. Especially after its been polished. (Can you polish tin?) However my mom was not much of a scenester, so this item ended up hanging from a wall, bedecked with dried flowers.
My mom collected antiques her entire life. She loved going to flea markets and thrift stores in search of hidden treasures. Now that she has passed I am selling off her collection.
