BOLD & VIVID MOHAIR-PILE 1800's CARPET BAG - EXCELLENT CONDITION
Superb Civil War era carpet bag. Rich golden tan with red, brown and turquoise floral print mohair-pile. Rectangular shape with side gusset. Flap closure with chrome clasp. Hook closure at flap left & right. Flap and top edge piped with textured twist braid. 19" self covered handle.
Off white muslin lining. Side pocket with ribbon tie. Marvelous early carpet bag in brilliant colors and in extraordinary condition.
Condition:
EXCELLENT condition. Amazingly great condition! Clasp is worn and the key is missing so it doesn't lock. Lining is lightly soiled and shows slight wear. Due to the nature of the use of these bags, they are usually heavily damaged. This one looks as though it was just stored away for many years.
