Scenic Beaded Purses Facts & Tips

 


Elegant Antique Peacock Beaded Purse, ca. 1900

Question or Purchase: antiquepeek@charter.net (413-592-4489)

This sensational and chic vintage purse will carry beautifully at any formal or black tie event.

The theme is quite charming, a small radiant peacock amongst bold red roses and lush greenery.


 

 


     

The overall expression of the purse reflects a refined personality that offers special characteristics for the woman that likes to be well dressed.  The small size of the peacock indicates subtleness yet there is no denying it's rather "full of life"  presence.  The surround of red roses and abundant greenery continues to convey that energetic quality.  The roses are accentuated with burgundy and orange highlights.  The deep black background is the perfect setting for capturing it's eloquent style.

      

The bottom fringe is thick is luscious, appearing secure and all there.  Actually, I find no bead loss on this handbag, nor repairs or any other problem.  It has been professionally cleaned from top to bottom, to the best condition possible.  The silver tone frame is not to be ignored with it's flourishing flora of embossed detailing with a green bead at each sew hole.  The twist clasp is enhanced with cobalt blue glass jewels.  The purse is well attached to the frame in a fashion not usually seen, with thin silver wiring that blends into the frame work and secures the purse without worry.

    

The original lining was unacceptable so I re-lined this beauty with vintage silk, using a rich emerald forest green, showing too teal in the photo.  The color pulls the entire purse together wonderfully and is well matched to the green in the beading.  It measures generously at 10 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 across the frame and the chain handle drops 6 inches.  I am very pleased with this purse and I know you will love it also.  The condition is exquisite and the pattern insinuates a bit of mystery.
