Dating to the 70's, this gold tone metal minaudière features a sculptural, fan shaped silhouette inspired by the radiating contours of a seashell. The rigid body is decorated with deeply moulded, overlapping ribs that create a three-dimensional, pleated effect, recalling the ornamental forms of Art Deco design. Finished with a hinged metal frame, clasp closure and contrasting black velvet interior. A fine gold-tone chain strap allows the bag to be carried as a clutch or worn over the shoulder.
