Lovely purse "sablé" 18th decorated with artichoke flowers and other, stylized, various colors.
The term "sablé"" comes from the fact that these pearls were as small as grains of sand.
Arranged in a quincunx, they form elegant decorations and give a very precious aspect to the object; and these were mainly
intended for the aristocracy.
Very good condition
