EXQUISITE FRENCH SEED-BEADED PURSE WITH GENUINE
CAMEO
Exterior: The entire exterior of this extraordinary
purse is covered with the tiniest pearlized ivory-colored
glass beads. There are approximately 13 hand-sewn beads per
running centimeter or 32 beads per running inch (see close-up
photo and count the beads!). Backing for beading is very fine
ecru lace. Interior: Lining is ivory satin. Interior frame is
unmarked - may be silver plate - shows tarnishing - have not
tried to clean it. Open pocket on one side. Snap-closure coin
purse (4 1/4" w. at top) attached on sides to main framework
by metal pegs allowing it to swing back and forth (see photo).
Fabric discolored from metal pegs in those areas, but not
worn. Frame of coin purse is covered with satin - no signs of
wear. Bottom of coin purse is sewn into bottom seam of lining
and creates a compartment on each side of the purse. Coin
purse has unique angular separation (see photo) creating two
compartments within it! Interior of coin purse stamped in gold
letters, MADE IN FRANCE.
Size: 6 1/4" w. at top
frame x 6 1/2" at bottom x 5 1/2" l. Condition:
Exterior: No missing or loose beads. Repair patch on back
right corner (see photo). Probably was professionally restored
years ago - expertly done and definitely does not detract from
the beauty of this piece - especially since it's on the back
side (see close-up photo). Interior: Some spotting on satin
lining but no big stains, tears or holes in fabric. Cameo
Closure: Faux nacre on a couple of pearls is worn off. Metal
post that passes through interior clasp appears to be coming
out. However, purse closes very securely - have not attempted
to reinsert it as it may affect the closing.
