Highlights

This listing is for a beautiful antique beaded purse. This beaded handbag is a great example of fine bead work. I believe this purse comes from the late 1800s.

• Measures 5” wide by 7 ½” long
• Purse is knitted in the round with same design on both sides
• Center pattern is colorful beaded flowers on a clear bead background
• Clear beads give a remarkable shimmer and depth
• Center is bordered on top & bottom with designs done in wine, green & pink beads
• Small multi-colored ball is attached at bottom of purse
• Purse is unlined
• Brown crocheted header at top of beadwork has scattered clear beads
• Drawstrings are twisted brown cord woven through the crocheted section
• Good condition with the following noted:
o ~ No obvious missing beads; no loose beads
o ~ Small ball seems like it might be missing a beaded tassel
o ~ Crocheted header has several areas of repair with lighter thread

This pretty beaded purse would be so cute hanging on a sweet lady’s chair next to a vanity table or set out on a dresser top with a pretty brush and hand mirror set. It would also be a wonderful addition to an antique purse collection.

The person who made this purse was a master bead crafter, as evidenced by the amazing detail in this pretty little purse!
