An ornately cast gilt brass frame stamped with a running band of tiny florals cements her beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe original cream silk lining has shattered in that unmistakable antique way (weighted silk, doing what weighted silk does after a century), with its little interior pocket and metallic braid trim still intact.
