Antique 19th Century Peat Salesman Purse

Antique 1817 Dutch leather purse

This remarkable antique pocketbook dates back to the early 19th century and bears the inscription ‘Lucas Van Lammeren Koopman in Turf 1817’ in elegant gilded letters — which translates to ‘Lucas Van Lammeren, Salesman in Peat’.

It offers a rare glimpse into everyday commerce of the time and is a true testament to early Dutch craftsmanship. With its historical context and personalized marking, this piece is undoubtedly museum-worthy and would make a striking addition to any collection of relics or antique personal items.

Despite being over 200 years old, the pocketbook remains in good condition, showing honest signs of age and use. The natural patina it developed over time only enhances its authenticity and charm.
