Description
Offered here is a charming trio of antique beaded purses, each showcasing distinctive early 20th century craftsmanship and design. This lot includes three individual handbags, measuring approximately 7" x 5", 8.5" x 5.5", and 7.5" x 4.75". The first purse features delicate floral beadwork on a cream ground with pib4323 roses and scrolling accents, framed in ornate gilt-tone metal with a chain handle and kiss-lock closure. The second example displays vibrant multicolored floral beadwork with a decorative fringe bottom, giving it wonderful movement and period appeal. The third purse is a striking Art Deco style metal mesh bag with geometric detailing, engraved frame, chain handle, and dangling mesh fringe. Each purse reflects the elegance and intricate handwork associated with flapper-era and Depression-era fashion accessories. The beadwork, metal frames, and period styling make this a desirable grouping for collectors of vintage handbags, Art Deco accessories, and antique textiles.
