Bruidstas (buidel) van roomkleurige charmeuse en zijden crepe met treklint van satijn en versierd met oranjebloesem van was 1898

This delicate, cream-colored silk pouch, or "Bruidstas (buidel)," was crafted in 1898 by an unknown artist. The bag is adorned with a single orange blossom made of wax, signifying the traditional floral symbol of marriage. Its charming, diminutive size and elegant construction suggest its use as a bridal purse, possibly for carrying small keepsakes or wedding favors. The satin ribbon ties, cinching the bag closed, enhance its intricate design and create an aura of refined femininity. The pouch's small dimensions, measuring 14.5 cm in length and 13.50 cm in width, further emphasize its intimate character.
