Hello,
I have a clutch purse that is tagged Beatrice Dawson London, England
I have not been able to get any information regarding the purse. Did she sell her costumes and designs to the public? How can I further investigate this?
I was told by an antique dealer "do not sell it until you know it's value". No one has been able to help me. Thank you
