Sizing guide
A piece of history in the palm of your hand, this antique German Silver mesh evening bag dates from the 1910s to 1930s, a time when elegance and fine craftsmanship defined every aspect of fashion. Delicately woven from fluid metal mesh, this bag moves with an effortless grace, embodying the sophistication of a bygone era. The intricately engraved floral filigree frame adds a touch of refined beauty, a hallmark of Art Nouveau and early Art Deco design.
Stamped with “G. Silver” on the frame, this marking stands for German Silver, a prized metal alloy composed of copper, nickel, and zinc. Though it contains no actual silver, its radiant finish and durability made it a preferred choice for fine accessories of the time. Carried by stylish women attending grand soirées, opera performances, and high-society gatherings, this evening bag was more than just a purse—it was a statement of refinement and taste.
The kiss-lock clasp secures the bag with a satisfying snap, and the 4-inch wrist chain drop allows it to drape elegantly from the wrist. Measuring 3.7 inches high and 4.5 inches wide, it is compact yet spacious enough to hold small essentials—a treasured relic from an era when even the smallest accessories were designed with artistry and care.
Owning this exquisite bag is like holding a piece of history—one that whispers stories of lavish evenings, moonlit ballrooms, and the timeless allure of vintage fashion. Whether displayed as a collectible or carried for a special occasion, it remains a tangible link to an era where elegance was not just an aesthetic but a way of life.
