1950s Lucite Metal Box Handbag

Beautiful vintage thirties USA oval shaped box bag made from chrome plated metal and celluloid. The chrome metallic sides feature a stunning filigree floral decorative repeating pattern cut out, which runs across the sides, front and back of the bag.

The handle, top and base of the bag are made from celluloid. On the top of the bag the celluloid has been engraved and decorated with a pretty swirling design which has been painted silver.

The bag opens and closes thanks to a simple metal clasp and has a metal hinge at the back.

The base of the bag has a stamp which reads "USA". There are four small round celluloid feet on the base as well.
