ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, &/or LORE: Women carried tapestry hand bags as early as the fourteenth century - later editions often contained romanic scenes and floral motifs.
JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This vintage handbag by Walborg is a true gem! Made in France, the bag features a tapestry design with a country life theme of fishermen and cows. The petit point style and multi-color woven tapestry fabric make it a unique accessory for special occasions. The bag is an original piece from the 1920s and is perfect for women who appreciate rural boho and ethnic/peasant looks. The bag is in great shape and is a must-have for vintage lovers.
CONDITION: Good vintage condition - no quirks, flaws or damage found to note. The condition of the lining is so nice - that it doesn\'t look to have ever been used or carried based on that alone. The chain handle and kiss lock orbs have gilding wear, mainly on the high touch areas (see last photo) which leads me tobelieve it was indeed well loved and carried often - but with great care. This was obviously valued and cherished by itsprevious custodians. In an excellent state ofpreservation
