Antique Beaded Purse Bag Silver Plate Frame W/ Roses Beaded Fringe Missing Chain
Item History & Price
The beading on this purse is exquisite. I am not an expert but it appears to be missing only 1 or 2 beads (pic #9). There is a darker area of beading on one side at the top (pic #2 and 11). And the silver plate is worn and has oxidized on one of the sides and on the interior and top of the metal frame (pic #2, 5, 7, 10). The bottom of the frame has pulled away slightly from one side but is not immediately apparent unless you move the frame (pic #10). It does not... seem to affect the structural integrity of the piece. Where the frame meets the beadwork on one side a thread has come loose (pic #2 & 11). The interior material is cracked with age and use but no holes can be felt inside the purse (pic #5). The clasp closes but not tightly (pic #6 & 7). The design is bright red and pink roses with green (2 shades) stems, leaves, and trim. The background beading and main fringe color is a neutral grey tone which is uniform but for a small darker area on one of the sides as mentioned earlier in the description (pic #2 & 11). The purse is missing its chain strap and is being sold "as is". It has a heavy weight and feels like a good quality piece.
