Time To Gear Up for the Holidays - with Shopping!
A great looking antique glass beaded purse or handbag, 11 1/2" X 7 1/4" and very realistically models a fine Middle Eastern carpet or rug.
Purse is gorgeous and features an elegant, colorful design that incorporates several shades of blue, brown, gold, yellow, orange, red, green and clear beads, some quite tiny, others are slightly larger to give visual dimension and textural appeal to the bag.
The lining is excellent, and was likely recently restored to look so lovely, accented with rose trim that is so feminine and pretty.
Frame is beautifully engraved and detailed with flowers and it has been monogrammed with the initials "GFC" in the center of the frame. Frame is marked "GERMAN SILVER" on the inside as shown in the detail photo and has the look of sterling or plate silver.
Condition is very fine+++ with no damages that I can see. I would assume a sporadic bead might be errant (missing) here or there in the purse, however that would be an exception, and not the rule.
A gorgeous collectible bag - a fabulous and opulent gift for the collector and makes a wonderful display too!
