- By the end of the 17th century, fashionable bags were round in shape. The pale ground of the embroidery and pattern of brightly coloured flowers in this example are typical of French bags of this period. Finishing the drawstrings are very ornate tassels of silver-gilt thread.
The lack of a more secure fastening than a drawstring suggests that this purse was intended to hold a keepsake or to wrap a gift of money, rather than everyday monetary use. (en)
- Bag, embroidered linen, ca. 1700, French?, coloured silks in stylized flowers, silver-gilt tassels (en)
