Egyptian Revival tooled leather Clutch Bag, mid C20th

A brown leather clutch bag with tooled decoration of typical form, the front flap, with a popper fastening, folding over to cover the concertina interior which has three sections, one zipped, two strap fastened pockets to the bottom and a mirror set into the upper section. In addition, there is light brown stitching at the top, visible inside. The designs are classic ‘Egyptian Revival’ with a bust of Queen Nefertiti (named, and accompanied by hieroglyphs) surrounded by stylised palm leaves at the front and another bust of her in a diamond frame shape inside. The back of the bag has a coloured design depicting a rocky lakeside scene with pyramids in the distance, rather an idealised composition. Similar bags in a variety of forms seem to have been made in the 1940s as tourist souvenirs and this example survives in excellent condition given its age.

Weight: 410gm
Date: 1940s
Condition: Good condition generally, the mirror loose and with slight loss to the silvering
