From a Chapel Hill, NC Collection

This minaudiere is featured on the cover of the Leiber biography, "No Mere Bagatelles" by Jeffrey Sussman.

In excellent condition with only a few small crystals missing on frame edge and a small amount of verdigris to interior slits where the shoulder strap comes through when being used, neither of these things are noticeable when being worn. The hand mirror is still in plastic wrapping and bag appears to have been used very sparingly.

$500 - 700
