How do I clean and care for a antique Whiting and Davis enameled Mesh Purse?
Care must be taken when cleaning your mesh purse so that you do not wear or chip the enamel paint off or unlink the mesh tiles. Wiping gently with a fairly damp clean cloth should remove most dust and dirt. "Extra fine" steel wool can be used to buff frames that do not have enamel accents, then wipe with a damp cloth. Washing your mesh purse in water is not usually recommended, however, I personally have done it at my own discretion. If you clean your mesh purse in water or get it too wet, towel dry the exterior and then blow dry the interior with warm air until it is "completely dry". You will want to make sure that all the moisture is gone and not trapped inside the mesh tiles. On mesh purses that do not have painted decorations, I have used silver or brass cleaner to bring out the sheen of the purse. Again, the problem of unlinking the tiles can occur so you have to work in small areas and use very little pressure, keeping the tiles spread out so they do not wiggle around much, it takes a little practice, time and patience. Don't try and to a rush job, you'll only cause problems.
Store your mesh bag away from direct sun, heat or moisture. Many collectors have arranged beautiful decorative wall displays where a weekly feather dusting would be appropriate. Others keep them behind glass, such as in a china cabinet. The practice of framing vintage handbags is a lovely idea, however, holes should be provided in the framing process for ventilation. Purses that do not get air will not age as gracefully, the dangers of moisture build-up and mildew increases. For storage in a drawer, wrap in clean white tissue paper and slip it into an "open" bag, if desired, making sure your purse can breathe. If you live in a high humidity area, keep it out of plastic bags as this could cause sweating which would not benefit the purse.
