Genuine Imperial Russian. 835 Silver Evening Bag Frame Engraved Spider Web Fly

  
Signature may also be required depending on value. All photographs are part of the description. Here is a very old an elegant evening bag frame with Russian hallmarks. It would have housed a small wallet like fabric bag, adhered to the back plate of the frame. You can still see the residue.

The front lifts up to reveal the bag. It is not just hinged, but must also have a spring because it closes automatically. It measures approximately 6-3/4 inches long and 3 inches tall.

It is 5 inches from the top of the bag to the V in the chain, and 8 inches long overall. The piece is hallmarked on both the front and back panels, but they are very difficult to discern.

It did test positive for silver, and being Imperial Russian, is most likely. Please review the photos for a complete description.
