Freddy of Paris Designer Beaded Evening Handbag

You will enjoy adding this 1930 - 1940 hand beaded evening purse to your wardrobe accessories, made in France for the respected designer Freddy of Pairs.

Freddy is well known for offering some of the prettiest of the vintage French beaded handbags, this purse is adorable and quite attractive.







 

   

These two photos show you the lovely colors and pattern details on this purse. The white background seed bead is bright and spotless, covering the entire purse. There is a crystal clear glass bead that creates a dynamic swirling outline and the flowers are soft pastels of pink and blue beads. There are the occasional amber and pale gray beads that are highlighting the florals, all creating a very appealing look. A smaller version of the pattern is detailed on the backside of the purse. Although the beading is tight, this purse maintains a soft hand with a fluid feel. This purse has been professionally cleaned and now carries only a scent of freshness, ready for your enjoyment.

   

The gold tone frame has taken on a vintage patina, as well as the slinky chain handle, all appearing very natural. The frame sports a spring tension style clasp that spans the width of the purse and closes with a gentle snap. The frame is covered in coordinated beadwork and the center is enhanced with a Limoges porcelain disc that is transfer decorated with an enchanting Fragonard style romance scene, the perfect touch for this eloquent purse. The porcelain is encircled with amber beads, I see from my close-up that one amber bead is out of place, I will fix that for you.  All elements of the frame are secure and in good working order, closing with a gentle snap.

   

The interior snowy white ivory satin lining has a single pocket with it's Freddy of Paris designer label.  The lining is looking in excellent clean  condition, bright with little, if any, signs of usage.  This elegant creation, stuffed with tissue, measures 4½ in height by 8½ across the bottom, the sides gusset out to 1¼ inches and the chain handle drops the purse by 5 inches. This purse is a bit smaller but will carry your essential just fine.  This chic and fashionable vintage French evening handbag will be the perfect compliment to your next fancy dress-up occasion, that springtime wedding or special dinner party.
