Incredible Antique Hand Crocheted & Beaded Ladies Handbag, Enameled Floral Metal Round Top Frame, hot Pearlized Pink Beading w Tassel
This is a fabulous antique purse. The top chain link strap is broken, and the majority is missing, but you can see what it looked like originally with the small section still attached. These are beautiful glass pearlized pink beads stitched through out with dangling tassel on the bottom. The crocheted fabric is also pink, but more on the orange spectrum. The top frame is ether unmarked sterling, or plated brass, a magnet will not adhere to it. It has a tab sticking up about 7/8" where the opposing side ball goes through. The inside looks all original with pink fabric with gold braiding connecting the liner to the metal frame. The inside is in excellent condition. The outside is as well, I see no damage or bead loss, just the missing chain link strap. The body measures 7 & 3/4" from tab to bottom of purse. The beaded ball and tassel hot extend down an additional 4 & 1/2". Gorgeous handbag!
