Antique 1902 CROCODILE ALLIGATOR & Sterling Silver Leather Purse ART NOUVEAU


The silver style corners very much adhere to the art nouveau period. 

The hallmarks on the Silver can be seen with the help of a magnifying glass. 

They are definitely hallmarked BIRMINGHAM (with the anchor)

However, the makers mark is more difficult to work out due to age related wear. I can make out the letters T D L, but the rest is unclear. I would be willing to say that I am more than 90% confident that the maker is: Thomas De La Rue & Co. 


The purse Measures:9cm x 6cm (approx.)

Condition:Fair to Good overall antique condition. The purse still holds together mostly. The Stitching to the seams of the opening is coming away at the inner compartments, I have tried to picture this as best I could. Please refer to the pictures.
