New Beginnings
Lot 99:
Description
A trio of vintage handbags featuring exotic skins and fine embellishments. The collection includes a structured mid-century frame clutch in genuine snakeskin with natural brown, tan, and dyed red tones, featuring a chunky dark brown tortoiseshell-patterned resin frame and top clasp. Also included is a soft-bodied beige textured leather shoulder bag, likely lizard-embossed, with a thin cord strap and a large gold-tone sculptural metal emblem set with two dark purple cabochons, attributed to the style of Judith Leiber. The final piece is a rectangular evening clutch with off-white seed beads in swirling patterns and a gold-tone frame inlaid with iridescent mother-of-pearl panels.
Condition report:
All items are in good vintage condition. The snakeskin bag exhibits natural scale variations and minor scuffing on the resin frame. The leather bag shows light creasing consistent with age. The beaded clutch remains largely intact with minor tarnishing and oxidation on the gold-tone metal hardware.
