Bag
This unusual black satin bag was made between about 1910 and 1920. The red brocade lining is just seen through the opening in the centre. Rich colours and patterns went hand in hand with a taste for designs inspired by Far Eastern textiles and dress. The four tassels at each corner and centre bottom add weight and style to the bag. It may have been made to complement a matching evening outfit and perhaps used for a trip to the theatre or opera.
