Tricia's Treasures

Manufacturer: BOSTONIA
This is a small antique beaded purse. The purse is signed BOSTONIA and GERMAN SILVER. Based on my research, the purse dates to 1906. The purse is made of black thread with iridescent glass beads sewn in a scalloped pattern. The gilded purse frame has Art Nouveau flowers and designs. There is a loop on one side of the frame with a chain attached to it. The purse measures 3 inches long and 3 inches across the bottom. The chain measures 7 inches long as shown. The purse is in good condition with no missing beads that I could find. It has come unsewn from two holes on the top of one side of the purse frame but could easily be repaired. There is also some wear to the gilt on the purse frame. It has not been cleaned or polished. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by.
