History: On the 19th of June, 1920, the House of Cartier in Paris created a collection of accessories so special they resembled jewels in their precious materials and expert craftsmanship. This collection was known as "Cartier S for Select", and it was the creation of the brilliant Mme. Jeanne Toussaint. It was her consummate style and taste that led to the design of so many Art Deco objects for which Cartier is famous. Even today, auction houses report record prices whenever a Toussaint creation appears. For two decades, Mme. Toussaint presided over "Department S". With the advent of World War II, the doors of "Department S" closed at least for thirty years. In the 1970 Cartier has recreated again the "Department S" and brought it to New York city. The same rigorous standards of beauty and workmanship, the same precious materials have gone into today's "Department S" Collection. This piece is from a collection of very special evening bags, Cartier S collection is for Select. See the image.

Collateral: It is accompanied by the original designer's presentation box from the stated period.

Condition: The condition of this piece is exceptional with no trace of wear, there is no damage to the gold or the leather. The gemstone is secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.
