$ 60.72
Description
A striking antique Art Deco era hand-beaded purse, dating to the 1920s–1930s, featuring an intricate jewel-tone swirl design that perfectly captures the bold geometry and colorwork of the period. The beadwork is richly detailed, with vibrant glass seed beads in deep blues, greens, reds, and golds forming an eye-catching, almost hypnotic pattern. The purse is finished with a classic celluloid frame in a tortoiseshell tone, complete with matching closure and a fully beaded strap. This is a wonderful surviving example of early 20th century craftsmanship—both decorative and functional—with strong visual appeal whether displayed or worn with care. CONDITION: This piece is being sold as found and shows signs of age and wear consistent with its vintage nature. There is visible bead loss and areas of exposed thread (see photos), along with some wear to the strap backing. The frame appears intact and functional. Despite these imperfections, the purse retains excellent display presence and could be a candidate for careful restoration if desired. MEASUREMENTS: (Please add) WHY IT’S COLLECTIBLE: • Authentic Art Deco era accessory (c. 1920s–30s) • Hand-applied micro glass beadwork • Bold geometric swirl motif with strong color contrast • Classic celluloid frame with matching hardware • Highly displayable example of flapper-era fashion Perfect for collectors of antique fashion, Art Deco design, or anyone drawn to pieces with history and character.
