Beaded Purses Facts & Tips

 


Art Nouveau Beaded Purse, Hanging Basket of Roses


<<<< Back to Beaded Purses page 4

 

This outstanding early 1900's Art Nouveau beaded purse is quite lovely indeed, classy and unique.

The Nouveau era handbags were true works of art and inspired some great artistic designs.




 

    

This example is very different from what I usually find.  I did have trouble getting the photos to show as well as I would have liked.  The deep black background offers terrific contrast but confuses the camera, nonetheless, my photos are still good.  The theme depicts a hanging basket of red orange roses with a touch of yellow and lush greenery.  The basket has a long handle with attached bow.  It hangs above a blue bowl of sorts that has miniature cornucopias with additional floral buds. 

    

The fringe is blue, golden amber and black, it appears to be complete.  There are some slight color differences on the purse.  For example, one side has a gray and golden amber basket and bow, the other side has gray and brown, otherwise the purse is the same on each side.  The colors are showing fairly well in my photos but the blue may be a tad bit softer.

    

I had to dull the colors of the purse for the photos of the frame so you could see the detailing better.  It is clean and bright, very well designed with a center shield for your initials, if you wish.  The balls that twist closed and the chain are rather chunky, all secure and working as they should.  The original leather lining is in place, with pocket and the interior of the frame is marked German Silver.  The purse is snug as it should be to the frame.  The purse measures about 6 1/4 at the frame by 11 inches long and the chain drops the purse by 5 inches.  It's a wonderful antique purse with a great Art Nouveau design, no bead loss or damage, clean, you will love adding it to your collection, it's so special.
