I am very happy to bring you this exceptionally creative  vintage beaded evening handbag from the distinguished French Bag Shop of Miami Beach and New York.  This 1920's - 1930's era purse was hand made in France of tiny black glass beads.  The purse is totally saturated with delicate Tambour embroidery executed in the Point de Beauvais stitch.  The workmanship is so amazing, such talent, and carries itself around the entire exterior of the handbag.





 

       

As you can see, the artist gave their all while working this very imaginative pattern.  The color tones are soft and feminine, yet not faded, the pastels are varied and exhibit good tone.  There is quite a bit of design on this purse, including what looks like intermittent lattice worked within the beading.  My photos are good and show you what to expect.  Also, this purse has been completely professionally cleaned for your future enjoyment and carries only a scent of freshness.

       

The gold tone frame is an extraordinary work or art and crowns this purse with beauty and class.  The silver toned beadwork is braided and beautifully sculpted. The Champlevé style of enameling is grand indeed and designed expertly, as the French were well recognized for achieving.  The faux pearls add the perfect enhancement and are randomly placed for optimum effect.  The interior satin lining is complimented with a labeled pocket and should carry your more essential needs.  This elegant French evening handbag is a pure visual delight.  The overall condition is extra fine, little if any signs of age or wear, certainly no damages or negatives, just a delightful hand made vintage purse.  It measures, stuffed with tissue, 4¾ in height by 8 at it's widest, it spans out about 1½ inches and the delicate chain handle drops 4½ inches. I must also mention that the frame widens in the center to 1½ inches and overall, this is a lovely and stylish evening purse.
