  • A cylindrical bag of woven and plaited green silk, silver and silver-gilt threads. The top has a knitted green silk border with eyelets and green silk drawstring (en)
  • Bag, plaited and knitted, 1700-1799, British; gold and silver whorls with green silk fastening. (en)
  • The unusual techniques used to create this bag make it difficult to date. No equivalent style is represented in the V&A’s collection, nor yet found in other museums. Silver and silver-gilt threads form the circular base and the sides are made of green silk threads in a very open weave. Around each intersection of green thread have been woven circles of silver or silver-gilt thread. The cylindrical shape of the bag is similar to those of the late 18th century, but the lavish use of metal threads more in keeping with early 18th-century needlework. With its open texture and easily abraded materials, this bag was probably intended to hold a keepsake or to wrap a gift of money, rather than everyday monetary use. (en)
