Micro Beaded Purse with a Field of Flowers

Collectibles : Vintage : Beaded Purse : Reticule

 

Lovely large micro-beaded purse with metal frame embossed with flowers and having swans to hold the chain, a push clasp and a shell pull tag to open. The beading is superb and esthetically pleasing. Leaves, vines and a variety of flowers cover the front and back. It is very difficult without magnification to find the few beads that are missing. Fully lined, edged with gold and blue braid, with a gathered pocket. Two small shreds (less than 1" each) in the lining. Ends in a tassel that needs repair. The beaded ball is intact but the fringe has one short string, one empty string and one short string. 6" wide by 9 1/2" tall. Useful size. Chain is 13" from side to side. Excellent condition for its age. No signage. I have worn it hanging from my belt, with a long skirt.
