Art Deco Beaded Handbag Antique 1920s Purple Beaded Evening Bag 1920s top Flapper Beaded Bag Made in Czechoslovakia
This antique, 1920s beaded hand bag is just stunning, with designs in glistening purple & black, with black fringe on the bottom. The ornate gold tone metal frame has an ornate clasp & frame with a simple, linked chain. The inside is lined with faded purple fabric. Please see the photos & use the close up option to note that the body of the bag has places that need re attached to the frame, which has perforations for stitches. It looks like someone tried to fix it with a yellow thread. It appears that maybe 2 looped fringes are missing from the bottom, but they are hard to see. One side of the bag has stitching evident in places.
