VTG Decoupage Colonial Box Purse - Lucite Handle

Updated September 25, 2026

A charming vintage box-form handbag / purse featuring an all-over decoupage design depicting detailed 18th-century Colonial or Georgian-era street, market and harbour scenes. The imagery includes townspeople, merchants, soldiers, shops, sailing vessels and architectural details, creating an attractive period narrative around the exterior. The structured case is fitted with an amber-tone translucent Lucite-style handle. The hinged interior is neatly lined in a repeating blue and white floral pattern, providing an appealing contrast to the illustrated exterior. This unusual decorative handbag is characteristic of the novelty decoupage box purses popular during the mid-20th century, and would appeal to collectors of vintage handbags, fashion accessories and decorative folk-art objects.
