Vintage Walborg Black Caviar Beaded Purse

Collectibles : Purses

 

Here is another stunning vintage evening bag from Sylvia's collection. Both sides of this incredible purse are covered in shiny black seed beads in the same design. There is a black beaded circle in the center of each side; the circle resembles a beaded black rose or flower bud viewed from above. Rays of dense beads flow from the center design in slightly wavy and textured lines. It must have taken hours of work and patience to make this handbag, which is in excellent condition. All beads are intact and secure, and there are no missing beads noted anywhere in the dense patterns. The black fabric under the beads is amazingly clean and intact. The stamped shiny gold metal frame shows no signs of wear or use, and the kiss snap closure functions smoothly. The gold metal chain link wrist strap easily tucks into the pocketbook, instantly converting the piece into a stylish clutch bag. The inner black satin lining is beautifully clean and intact, and appears unused. There is one open top pocket inside the bag, and the tag sewn into the seam of the pocket reads Walborg Hand Beaded in Hong Kong. This darling purse measures 6 inches across in length and 6 inches in height, not including the 1/2 inch tall snap closure. The gold chain strap measures 14 inches in total length, and arcs gracefully 5 1/2 inches above the top frame of the bag. This gorgeous evening bag was lovingly stored with tissue paper inside to help maintain its shape and beauty. This item comes from Sylvia's collection. We recently attended an estate auction and discovered quite a bit about this stylish woman by finding notes and personal items hidden in the purses and accessories we selected. She had many items in more than one color or style, and took incredible care of her belongings.
