Gusseted clutch bag with front flap in polychrome pearl sandblasting, decorated with floral scrolls and birds. It bears the motto: "il porte le mal et le bien", "il dit tout et il ne sait rien", "il dit la haine et la tendresse", "il rend à chacun son adresse". It is decorated with a coat of arms with three towers on the back, inside in cream taffeta (very slight loss, small stains and pulled threads on the lining). Late 17th or early 18th century. Note: the technique known as "sablé de perles", using pearls as fine as a grain of sand, first appeared in the 17th century and became very popular in the 19th century. This technique was used for small, refined objects made by ladies of the Court or Nobility.
