Bolsito Duplex metálico para señorita, Reino Unido,... Lot n° 108

Antique metallic lady's handbag signed Duplex and made from the year 1912, as can be seen from the two inscriptions that refer to its brand and to the date on which this article was patented, April 2, 1912: "DUPLEX / PAT APRIL 2'12. Both appear next to the flap of the outer closure of the pouch. Both sides are decorated with interlaced vegetal decoration, making it, together with its chronology, an object belonging to the modernist artistic movement known as Modern Style in England. The interior has three independent compartments, the central one with a metal clasp. The use and some wear and tear of this bag is evident in the logical wear visible in its main decorative elements. It retains its original chain. Good preservation. Measures: 12 x 9 cm.
