A signed Whiting & Davis enameled mesh evening bag dating to the 1920s, distinguished by a geometric diamond motif in blush pink, ivory, sage green, and crimson enamel. The finely enameled metal mesh is framed by an ornate silver-tone Art Deco clasp, while the original silk lining reflects the exceptional craftsmanship for which Whiting & Davis became renowned.
Its petite silhouette and delicate color palette capture the elegance of the Jazz Age while remaining remarkably wearable today. Chosen for its beautifully preserved enamel, timeless design, and iconic maker, this piece embodies the enduring appeal of early twentieth-century evening accessories and is equally suited for collecting or special occasions.
Condition: Very good antique condition with light wear consistent with age. Minor enamel loss is present, as expected for age, while the original silk lining and signed frame remain beautifully preserved.
