1920s Vintage Micro Beads and Point de Beauvais Embroidery Purse

Step back in time with this charming vintage purse from the 1920s. Intricately embroidered with micro glass beads, it features a stunning pavement-inspired pattern in bronze and soft blush pink hues. At the center, an oval motif adorned with Point de Beauvais embroidery depicts a delicate floral garland with ribbon details in shades of azure, light yellow, lilac, beige, pink, and green on a bronze background. The embroidery repeats on both sides, adding symmetry and elegance to the design. The purse is framed with a simple gold-tone metal clasp adorned with black beads, while the chain handle adds a touch of vintage glamour. Inside, the purse is lined with ivory grosgrain silk and includes an internal pocket with a mirror.

Measurements:
6 1/4″ by 4 3/8″ (15.8 cm by 11 cm), total length including the handle 8 3/4″ (22.2 cm).

Condition:
This purse is in good condition overall, although not without imperfections. The bead embroidery is intact, but the two oval medallions show signs of wear on the silk background. However, the embroidery itself is well-preserved. Some minor dark spots can be found on the interior lining.
