Description
A charming antique hand-beaded purse featuring a beautifully detailed peacock perched upon a leafy branch. Executed in fine glass seed beads, the design showcases rich blues, greens, and warm orange tones against a cream ground, creating a striking and elegant composition. The purse retains its original dark metal chain handle and is finished with delicate beaded fringe along the bottom edge. Measuring approximately 11" x 7", this piece displays wonderful period character with expected age-related wear to the lining and minor bead loss consistent with use. The interior is lined in fabric and remains structurally sound. A lovely example of early 20th century beadwork, perfect for collectors of antique handbags, Art Deco accessories, or fine vintage fashion. A display-worthy piece with timeless appeal.
