The colors are divine!
This large beaded purse is a beautiful version of micro-beading. It is absolutely gorgeous in color…deep rich jewel tones that are utterly eye-catching. The lacey metal frame is gold-washed.
Weeks of hand work went into its design that is meticulously finished. There are no missing beads, and the body of the purse is intact and strong. The interior lining is missing, but this does allow one to view the incredible intricate workmanship that went into its creation. It would not be difficult to add a silk lining, and a skilled seamstress will easily do this for you. The gold wash on the frame has rubbed off on one side where the purse bounced against the original owner’s skirts.
This was obviously used and well care for…beloved to the original owner. If only we knew who she was….
The purse measures about 11 inches or 28 cm in length overall, not counting the chain which adds another 7.5 inches or 19 for a total length of about 18.5 inches or 47 cm.
