Petit Point Evening Purse. 1940s/50s. Jolles Original.
Exquisite small evening bag with dramatic petit point scene of buildings,
bridge, water, flowers and trees on the front and back. At the bottom is a ribbon and floral piece. Thin
golden leather detail trim between the front, back and bottom. Lined in peach
satin. One inner pocket. Goldtone hardware with a delicate goldtone chain that
interestingly connects at opposite ends of the frame.
Jolles was known for its petit point purses and other types of needlework. I think
this is an oldie, probably from the ‘40s, although I can’t be sure. It’s truly a work of
art.
Bonus pic! J. Jolles Studios business card.
I have my eye right now on some other Jolles ephemera.
Will post it here if I manage to snag it. (UPDATE: SCORE! Waiting for it to be shipped.)
