Antique Jeweled Purse Frame |
|
This is a lovely and colorful jeweled purse frame that will make for a wonderful crown for your vintage beaded purse. Although I have not found a mark, it is most certainly French in origin. It carries all of the attributes of the frames that were made in France during the late Victorian 1800's to the early 1900's. It is quite attractive indeed and will add diversity to your treasured purse accessories or will be sit proudly amongst your handbags. |

The front of this purse frame boasts 9 good sized bezel mounted stones. The multi shaped and multi faceted glass jewels vary in shades of amber citrine, emerald green and medium cobalt blue. The push down to open clasp is adorned with a large and chunky brighter faceted blue stone, making for a radiant cap on this frame. An additional emerald jewel is set into the fancy drop pull which is used when opening the frame. All stones appear original with strong depth of color, they all look to be secure and in very nice condition.
The frame is constructed of a beautiful golden brassy metal, it opens and closes as it should. The detailing abounds everywhere on the frame with raised embossed designs on all exterior sides, the craftsmanship is superior. Another quality of the French frames are the double chain link handles, this one drops the frame by 6 inches. Additional measurements are as follows: 5 & 1/2 across the hinges, 2 inches up the sides and 5 inches from sew hole to sew hole at the hinge area. This is a fabulous antique jeweled purse frame in extra fine condition, well cared for. Take this opportunity to add it to your treasury of keepsakes while it's available. Let me know and I'll put it aside for you.
