Lot 2119 | Eva Braun - Handtasche aus Ziegenfell
Eva Braun - Handtasche aus Ziegenfell
Vollständig aus weißem Ziegenfell gearbeiteter Korpus, der Rahmen aus lederbezogenem (partiell brüchig) Metall, der obere Steg aus Acrylglas, der gefederte Verschluss aus vergoldetem Buntmetall mit dem gravierten und durch ein Herz überhöhten Monogramm "EB" in der typischen Kleeblattform, die seitlichen Abschlüsse mit den Ösen für den fehlenden Riemen ebenfalls aus vergoldetem Buntmetall. Schwarzseidenes Innenfutter mit diversen, teils durch Druckknöpfe gesicherten Innentaschen sowie einem kleinen schwarzseidenen Portemonnaie. Maße ca. 25 x 28 cm. Sehr schön erhaltene Handtasche, die durch die Verwendung des erst Ende der 30er Jahre entwickelten Acrylglases ein topmodisches Accessoire war. Das liebevoll, aber künstlerisch eher schlicht gravierte Monogramm dürfte dabei eine private Arbeit aus dem Kreis der zahlreichen Freundinnen und Freunde Eva Brauns gewesen sein, wofür insbesondere die Zufügung des kleinen Herzens spricht. Diese Ziegenfell-Handtasche wird explizit in der Auflistung Frankenfields als Geschenk an die Frau des US-amerikanischen Händlers erwähnt, "6 handbags (1 handbag, goatfur, free as a gift to Mrs [...])".
Provenienz: Commanding Intelligence Officer of the District Greater Salzburg L. Frankenfield, der im Mai 1945 in der Nähe von Salzburg mehr als 40 Koffer mit persönlichen Gegenständen von Eva Braun, ihrer Schwester Gretl Braun-Fegelein und Hermann Fegelein beschlagnahmt hatte.
Eva Braun - a goatskin handbag
Eva Braun - a goatskin handbag
The body made completely of white goatskin, the metal frame covered in leather (cracked in places), the upper bar made of acrylic glass, the spring-loaded clasp in gilt, non-ferrous metal, engraved with the monogram "EB" in the typical four-leaf clover form, surmounted by a heart, the side bars with the loops for the missing strap also made of gilt, non-ferrous metal. Lined in black silk, the handbag has various inner pockets, some fastening with press studs, and a small, black silk purse. Dimensions approx. 25 x 28 cm. In fine condition. The handbag was considered a highly fashionable accessory at the time on account of the acrylic glass, which was only developed in the late 1930s. The painstakingly, yet rather unostentatious, engraved monogram was probably carried out privately by someone in Eva Braun's wide circle of friends. This is especially indicated by the addition of the small heart. This goatskin handbag is explicitly mentioned in Frankenfield's list as a present for the wife of the American dealer, "6 handbags (1 handbag, goatfur, free as a gift to Mrs [...])".
Provenance: Commanding Intelligence Officer of the District Greater Salzburg L. Frankenfield, who confiscated over 40 suitcases containing personal items belonging to Eva Braun, her sister Gretl Braun-Fegelein and Hermann Fegelein near Salzburg in May 1945.
