THIS IS AN ITEM I HAVE HAD SINCE 2003 WHEN I OWNED AN ANTIQUE STORE.  I SOLD THE STORE BACK IN 2005 AND THIS HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE THEN.  

IT IS AN UNLINED WICKER … STRAW RATTAN HANDLED PURSE.  IT IS MARKED ON THE INSIDE MADE IN SPAIN.  THE FRUIT ON THE FRONT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OUT WITH EITHER NEW FRUIT TO KEEP IT SEMI-ORIGINAL (the orange fruit that is on there now is peeling but still there.  the pears and leaves can be salvaged).  OR DRESS IT UP MORE BY ADDING PRETTY FABRIC FLOWERS.  

THE OPENING IS A DROP DOOR STYLE WITH AN ADJUSTABLE LOOP THAT TIGHTENS OVER THE ACORN LOOKING HOOK.  

THE PURSE IS IN GREAT SHAPE.  NO MISSING OR CRACKED RATTAN PIECES.  THERE IS ONE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE HANDLE THAT IS TWISTED BUT I AM ASSUMING THAT IT WAS MADE THAT WAY.  THERE IS NO RUSTING OR CORROSION ON THE SILVER HANDLE BRACKETS.  

THE SIDES OF THE PURSE ARE A HARD PIECES OF WOOD.  WHICH ARE IN GREAT CONDITION.

MEASURES 10 INCHES TALL X 11 1/2 INCHES WIDE X 5 3/4 INCHES THICK.  THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE HANDLE IN THE MEASURMENTS AS THE HANDLE CAN BE FOLDED DOWN FOR STORAGE OR MAILING

see photos for more detail on the purse.
