EDITORS COMMENTS
This Leather Purse Top, created by American artist Lyman Young in the 1940s, showcases the unique fusion of functional design and artistic expression that characterized the decorative arts of the 20th century. The top, which is not to be confused with the modern-day brand of the same name, is a testament to the rich heritage of American craftsmanship and creativity during the 1930s and 1940s. Crafted from brown cowhide and embellished with intricate floral embroidery, this purse top is a stunning example of the artistry and attention to detail that defined the era. Young's expert use of watercolor and graphite on paper brings the purse to life, capturing the textures and patterns of the leather and the delicate threads of the embroidery in exquisite detail. The Leather Purse Top is a period item that reflects the functional yet decorative nature of clothing and accessories during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a reminder of a time when art and design were integrated into everyday life, and when the simple act of creating an object could be an expression of both beauty and utility. This piece is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is a valuable addition to the gallery's holdings, and a testament to the enduring appeal of American craftsmanship and design.
