c. 1920. This beautiful knit beaded purse is
in excellent condition. The beads are a cut iridescent clear ab
(aurora borealis) color that sparkles in the light - I've found these beads before on
other purses from the 1920s. It was knitted with cream colored silk.
The picture makes it looks like there is a discoloration on
the right bottom side of the purse but there isn't - there
must have been a slight shadow when I took the picture.
Silver plated filigree frame has filigree on both sides of
frame. The original lining is in perfect shape and is trimmed with
floral trim.
Every loop of the looped fringe is there. Overall an
absolutely excellent purse and very useable. Measures 6" wide at bottom by
12 1/4" long.
Chain adds another 6".
