VTG FRANCE FRENCH BEADED PURSE~ALL GLASS BEADS~ FLORAL MOTIF~LOVELY EVENING BAG
Gorgeous vintage purse from the 1940's-50's era. Completely beaded from top to bottom and side to side, even the handle is completely beaded. This beautiful purse was made in France. The clasp is framed and goes along the full length of the purse. This top is a "rolled" metal frame and it is also completely beaded with an exquisite flower and leaf design. The metal has a gold plated finish, very nice. Both the front and back of this purse have a detailed and heavily beaded flower and leaf design with mostly white beads. Clear beads are used to define the flowers and leaves and to give them depth. It is simply a lovely work of art. The inside has a silk lining with has two pockets on each side. The label states made in France. In very good vintage condition this elegant bag has has no beads missing except for a very few on the handle. There are a few very small areas that show discoloration on the outside of the purse but this is so minimal it doesn't detract from its beauty at all. The inside lining is lovely, creamy white silk (satin?) with just a tiny spot you can see when you open it (shown in the photo), again very minimal. I am sure all of this could all be removed if you want to have it done. Overall it is an exceptional example of the excellent design seen in vintage bead work. Measures 7" across at the top and graduates to 8~1/2" at the bottom. It is 6~1/2" long from top to bottom and 1~1/2" deep. The handle measures 5" from to the top of the purse.
