The purse is made from leather, it has been beautifully worked with nice embossed images into the leather, there is an eagle on the front and some kind of fruiting branch on the back. The edge of the leather has metal’stiches’. There is a large brass dragon on the front of the purse. There is a brass multi chain attached to the top of the purse, this has a kind of seal on the end. The seal has a dark surround, I cannot make out what this is made of, possibly Bakelite or horn? There is another brass dragon inside this. Inside the purse it is lovely soft suede. You can see that the leather was once nicely coloured as it has not faded beneath the flap. It is in good condition, there is some minor surface wear, some fading to the colours as mention, one of the chains is no longer attached to the seal, but nothing too major. It is a stunning and very unusual purse. Please see photographs for more details. Width; 5.5 inches / 14 cm. Please drop me a line if you have any questions. More expensive, but safer for both parties. The item “Stunning Antique Chinese Leather Purse with Brass Dragon Embossed Eagle” is in sale since Thursday, August 04, 2016.
