Antique Victorian to Edwardian Austrian Nissel & Sikora Evening Purse, Tortoise Shell, Sterling Silver, Kiln-fired Enamel, 4" Diameter horn Hand carvedOne of my favorite treasures.

The bag dates c. 1880 1900. The maker's mark and rather signature floral basket and cobalt blue kiln fired enamel mark it as a true luxury of its time.
