{"product_id":"antique-french-doctors-bag-gladstone","title":"Antique French Leather Doctor’s Bag with Original Key, Large Gladstone Medical Bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eA handsome antique leather doctor’s bag found in France and likely dating from around the 1920s–1940s. Its large structured form, generous opening and traditional hinged frame are typical of the practical bags once carried by doctors and other travelling professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag is made from warm brown leather with a finely textured surface. It retains its stitched leather carrying handle, brass-toned frame fittings, central lock and two additional upper catches. Particularly lovely is the original decorative heart-bow key, which remains with the bag and successfully locks and unlocks the central clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hinged frame opens widely to reveal a spacious brown fabric-lined interior. With its classic Gladstone form and beautifully aged leather, this would make a wonderful display piece, unusual storage bag or addition to a collection of antique medical and travel accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag shows genuine wear from age and use, including rubbing, scratches, colour variation and small marks to the leather. The handle has noticeable surface wear, while the metal fittings have developed tarnish and patina. The interior lining has creasing, dust and age-related marks. The central lock and both upper catches operate correctly. Please examine all the photographs carefully, as they show the condition and form an important part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements: 20″ L × 9″ H × 9″ W\u003cbr\u003eMetric: 50.8 cm L × 22.9 cm H × 22.9 cm W\u003cbr\u003eThe stated height excludes the handle.\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1,090 g \/ 38.4 oz (2 lb 6.4 oz)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage French Treasures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64145544806777,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/8033\/7785\/files\/IMG_3291.jpg?v=1785766708","url":"https:\/\/vintagefrenchtreasures.com\/fr\/products\/antique-french-doctors-bag-gladstone","provider":"Vintage French Treasures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
