Vintage Round Beaded Purse

Description

This vintage purse is from my family, and is at least 80 years old. It is adorned with very bright tiny glass beads in colors of vibrant pink, soft lavender, light green, ecru, tan, and black.

The metal frame is silver in color and needs polishing. The metal chain is in perfect condition. It's clever design allows you to hang it from your wrist and still be able to open it without it falling wide open... the chain is attached across each side. (One end is attached to the front, one is attached to the back.)

The flower pattern is exactly the same on both sides. The interior is in tack with only minor tares.

This purse actually has some depth to it, meaning the round design has an edge to it (like a deep pillow) Forgive me, I know there is a name for that... it escapes me at the moment! :) I took photos of it filled and unfilled so you can see what I am referring to.

The beading is about 90% in tact... there are some slightly loose beads that are turned on edge, but still secure.

It is 5 1/2" at its widest point, and almost 11" in length from the top of chain to the bottom of the purse.

This is a stunning purse! Very feminine.
