NEW 8x10" Wood Shadowbox Frame Dennis Daniels Perfect for Display of Zari Clutch

Description: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 NEW 8x10" Wood Walnut Shadowbox Frame, Perfect for Display of Collectible Sterling Silver Gilt Zari Clutch Purses This listing is for one shadowbox. The clutch and sari booklet are not included but may still be available for sale in my store. This new-in-box Dennis Daniels Treasure Box Shadowbox frame can hold an item up to 8x10" in size and about .75 inch thick. There is a wooden "liner" that is removable to give you more or less space, as desired. High quality! About the Glass: Please read. I always package well but am insuring this just in case. This is being mailed with Priority mail insurance from USPS. In the event that it should arrive damaged, including with broken glass, please start an online insurance claim or return the item, the broken pieces, and all of the original packaging to the post office for a refund. Fortunately, the standard size glass like 8x10 and 5x7 are easily replaced by buying new glass at a local thrift store, hobby supply, frame store or auto glass business. After many years, I have concluded that no amount of bubble wrap and foam can protect glass if a very heavy package is tossed on top of it at the post office. About 1 in 9 of glass-fronted items that I sell arrive with broken glass. Therefore, I will only include the glass as a courtesy from now on. I personally do not and will not guarantee the glass against breakage. Of course, every shadowbox will be very well packaged, and you are protected by Priority mail insurance.If you have a vintage two sided 8x5" collectible clutch or purse, this is the perfect shadowbox for it because it fits 8x10" so you can display both sides (as long as the thickness of the clutch is 3/4ths of an inch or less.) If you have a zari clutch with damage to the purse, you can also cut away the beautiful embroidery and frame that alone in a shadowbox. Handmade zari sterling silver clutch evening bags are no longer made the way they once were. If you have one of these works or art, it is important to minimize the air circulation around it to slow the natural toning or silver darkening process. A shadowbox will accomplish this and protect the bag from dust and allow you to view your art piece with pride and joy. Just don't hang the frame where it will be in contact with direct sunlight from a window as, over time, direct sunlight can damage the silk velvet and silk satin. The Zari Buying Guide (link below) goes into more detail about why a shadowbox is the best way to display and store these sterling silver zardozi masterpieces. The clutch shown is listed elsewhere in my store, as are other similar bags with many more to come. It is 8 inches across, 5 inches tall and 2 inches wide when expanded. Closed, it fits the depth of this shadowbox well. This new shadow box is part of the Dennis Daniels Treasure Box collection. This is the dark walnut variety and is made from beautiful wood. There are horizontal and vertical hanging loops on the back and a wooden insert so that this will fit a slightly smaller evening bag. Please see photos for more details and see my store for more shadowbox options and zari purses.I will be selling different size new and pre-owned shadowboxes for the display of zari handbags that I will be listing in coming weeks and months. This is a large American collection of over 150 zardozi items from India. This listing is for one shadowbox.

When was my handbag or clutch made and what is it worth? Peacocks! Accessories. Where Can I Buy Zari Clutches and Accessories? What Do Collectors Need to Know About the Labels and Original Boxes? Glossary: What Is Zari? Toning? Vermeil? Care, Repair, And Display. What Is the History of Zari In India? Summary: Zari In American Culture and Fashion History. Excerpt from the "Silver and Gold Threads: The Ornate Zardozi or Zari Purse, Clutch, and Accessories Buying Guide": “True zari (or zardozi) evening bags and accessories made with solid sterling silver wire thread and real gold vermeil wire thread were made in India for export from the late 1800s up until the mid 1960s. They were often embroidered on genuine silk, silk satin, and silk velvet and sometimes further embellished with colorful silk thread embroidery and genuine polished or faceted gemstone cabochons. Since the mid 1960s, much has changed due to the increasing costs of labor, silver, silk and gems. Modern zari bags and accessories are made with thread that is silver plated and gold plated or metal colored. Modern zari can be very beautiful and collectible but it is typically smaller, has less embroidery, is sewn on to rayon, polyester and cotton blends instead of silk, and the beads, if any, are colored glass. So how can you tell the true zari from the modern zari? Armed with the information in this Buying Guide, you can tell the difference….. …..Many nations and cultures have their own traditional type of goldwork embroidery but none is more breathtaking than the zari of India. No other type of goldwork has had such an impact on the fashion history of the world and no other type incorporates real silver and gold, semi-precious gems, the finest silk, satin and velvet, and colorful silk threads….
