From a recent estate purchase, this lovely authentic depression era beaded purse measures about 6 1/4" wide and 4 1/2" high including its beaded fringe.

It also has a beaded handle that is about 14" long.
The hand beaded bag is made of lovely glass beads with a black backgroundand pink and red flowers, dark and light green folliage, and gold glass beads in a lovely art deco design bordering the bag. it has a flip top that is lined with faceted clear hand set rhinestones and a large rhinestone clasp. The handle is done in striped beads, and it has a black silk lining that is in perfect condition. The back of the bag is black with a variation of a Grecian key design done in the gold beads.
In very good condition, the bag is free of apparent damage or repair with 99.99% of its beads present and intact. There is a couple of miniscule places where a couple of beads appear to be missing, but only if you closely scrutinize it...nothing detracting or devaluing, in my opinion. The rhinestones are all original and intact with a few of them slightly lose. it appears to all be original though the lining is so perfect, it may have been professionally replaced quite possibly. An excellent collector's piece for any lover of art deco and beaded bags! |
