Vintage Mid-Century Decoupage Wood Box Handbag

The word Decoupage comes from the French word Decouper, which means to cut out, hence the Art of Decoupage is the decorating of an object with paper cut outs that are glued onto the object and then covered with many layers of varnish for protection. It has been going on as far back as the 12th Century. This vintage purse is a beautiful example of this art form that you can enjoy for many years to come.
