Wonderful Circa Late 19th Century Silver Chain Mesh Evening Purse Bag Chain-mesh bags were in style by the 1870s. The first bags were made by hand from interlocking metal rings. Companies sent the links to housewives, who assembled the mesh at home. Early chain bags had handles with a finger-ring attachment so a small purse could be held by a finger while a woman was dancing. #chainmesh #chainmeshbag #chainmeshpurse #silver #antiquesilver #antiques #antiqueshop #eveningpurse #antiquesforsale #collectables #collectibles https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbm0Vl8oxWc/?utm_medium=tumblr
