Set sail in style with this one-of-a-kind vintage box purse!

This piece was made during the 1960s and is signed by the person who made it. The purse is primarily made of wood that has been decoupaged and laquered.

The exterior of the purse has some really fun and interesting visual details! On the front you will see a couple waving bon voyage to a boat that appears to be setting sail off a European coastline. The other sides of the purse depict pretty city scapes and boats that stand out from the body of the purse and add dimension. The color palette includes white, shades of blues and greens, and small pops of red throughout.

The purse secures with a brass ball clasp, and the lid opens to reveal a very clean aqua blue felt lining with roped trim. The underside of the lid even has a lady and a boat on it with the signature of the maker.

The body of the box measures 7.5 inches tall, 9.5 inches wide, and 5.25 inches deep. The handle hangs 3.5 inches long and there are brass studs on the bottom so it stands up nicely on its own. This handbag is large enough to hold all of the daily purse essentials and then some!

Please note that this piece does show its age a bit. There is some yellowing and crackling throughout the laquer that give it that vintage patina, but it is still totally usable for every day life! Over all it is in decent vintage condition and it was stored in a smoke-free environment.
