Purse Street:

This vintage Czech purse is tastefully beaded, signed on the frame and created during the early 1900's. The round glass beads are clean and vibrant, roses are pink, red and brown with two shades of green leaves and additional cobalt and brown florals. The cut and faceted clear background bead is on an off white tone thread and fabric, showing better in the last photo. The original cotton lining is completely intact, sound and usable, showing some discolor around the frame and in general but no wear or tear. The entire purse is very secure to the silver tone embossed frame which exhibits some age darkening as expected but no damage. All beadwork is present, the fringe is original and complete although I did have to restring a few loose ones. All said, this lovely purse is in very good condition showing no losses, just a tad bit of aged patina here and there, perhaps a stitch taken at one of the hinges, certainly nothing offensive. Measuring 11 1/4 by 7 1/8 inches wide, this charming vintage beaded purse gleams in the light.

I was thrilled to acquire this vintage beaded reticule purse, very roomy indeed, extra large body measuring nearly 10 inches by 9 1/2 wide plus a 2 1/2 inch matching beaded tassel. Crocheted knit header allows for a cord to be woven for closing and the satiny interior, showing a couple of small mends, is completely usable. The bold vibrant roses and pansies seem to just pop off the darker beige/gray background, the purse is gorgeous with no problems that I can find. Medium beading is intact and soundly knit making for a marvelous addition to your accessories, this one will even carry your cell phone.

I love the combination of these Czech cut and faceted glass beads, charcoal gray with heavy silver overtones and the gorgeous deep aqua? blue is striking indeed. I believe all elements of this antique beaded purse show beautifully and how nice to have the original cotton type lining with most of the interior beadwork still present, so rare when interiors survive in great shape. Truly no complaints about this purse, the beading is complete and sound, I only had to take a couple of stitches to secure the purse a bit better to the embossed framing which shows aged patina as expected. Measuring 8 1/4 inches from the top of the clasp to the bottom of the fringe by nearly 4 inches wide, this purse has been lovingly cared for and will perform well for another 100 years, one to be considered.
