Vintage Beaded Purse France

Vintage French Beaded Handbag

Extraordinary French beaded handbag, full of personality, feminine appeal and with all of the expressive characteristics of a vintage Parisian beaded evening handbag. Presented with tiny micro-beads of a pearlized ivory background, with delicate petal pink, blush, and a soft dove gray beadwork of stylized blooming tulip-like flowers, on narrow beaded steams of coppery bead. Most of the beads are round, yet the base of each flower is a squared bead that has a slight metallic finish to it. It adds another layer of texture to the bag! The brass golden toned etched frame repeats a scrolling floral design. The frame hinges to open with a lift of the round beaded clasp. The frame is in structurally sound condition and the lift up to open front clasp closes this purse with a solid snap. Along the top of the frame is a gold tone bar that is wrapped in alternating cream, gold and pink beads, adding another detail to this gorgeous beadwork! Cream satin lining
