Glittering and elegant, this is an incredibly beautiful beaded flapper purse, dating circa 1925. 

Tiny seed beads on a cream background make up the geometric and floral design.   Cream colored beads make up the ground and fringe.  Faceted gold tone and  smooth silver tone beads, along with black beads form the design.  The silver beads accent the fringe and each string of the fringe is tipped with 3 tiny black beads.

The lining is cream colored and is sturdy and clean.  There is a pleated pocket.  The frame is sturdy and straight and the clasp is tight.  The chain handle shows patina and is strong.

The fringe is absolutely perfect and one side of the bag is, too.  The other side of the bag seems to have two rows of beads that are missing.  This is, fortunately, not terribly noticeable and almost looks like a “run” (as in pantyhose).  At the side edge where the two beaded panels meet, there is some separation.  Nothing drastic, but you may wish to add a tiny stitch here to prevent further movement. 

A fabulous addition to your collection and will display beautifully!
