Antique Micro Beaded Purse Mini Glass Beads

This is a beautiful antique purse, I believe to be pre 1900. It measures 6&1/4 inch wide, and 5 inches long WITHOUT the beaded fringe, which is about 3 inches long. The purse displays well, but has problems. One of the metal rings, that attaches the mesh chain handle is missing. The blue silk lining is fragile, and is separated from the purse frame on each side. Along the gold colored metal frame, at the top on the metal itself on one side, there are some beads missing. The good news is that there are no missing beads on the main part of the purse, and the delicate fringe appears to be intact. I don't see any labels, or markings. This is not an area I'm experienced in, so please email with any specific questions that I can answer.
