Elegant Handbags Facts & Tips

 


Vintage French Beaded and Tambour Handbag


<<<< Back to French Beaded and Elegant Handbags page 2

 

This 1920's - 1930's  evening purse was hand made in France with an abundance of color, style and character.

Although I find no markings on this vintage handbag, there is no disputing it's origin, only the French truly mastered these elaborate works of art.



 

     

The entire body of this purse is covered with tiny, tiny micro glass beads in a tone of soft white, not a stark white and in duller lighting, they might even appear a little off white.  Both sides of this purse are identical and have an intricate infusion of Tambour embroidery in the Point de Beauvais stitch.  The heavily detailed pattern is rich in both subtle and crisp color.  There are many fabulous tones, my photos are showing them well and exactly what you should expect to receive. 

     

The fully decorated gold tone frame and lift to open tab dress this handbag with eloquence.  The alternating rows of twisted metallic cording and micro beads are flanked by coordinating beadwork enhanced with little filigree beads, all very sweet and different.  Everything looks to be complete and secure, in fact, the entire purse is in extra fine condition.  I love acquiring French evening bags that have been this well cared for.  I find no problems with this handbag, no bead loss, no exterior staining, no apologies.  The interior is lined with ivory satin, looking gently used but not abused, and has two pockets for your accessories.  This lovely bag has been professionally cleaned and will arrived carrying only a scent of freshness.  Stuffed with tissue, this delicate and light weight creation measures 5 in height by 6½ in width, 2 inches in bottom depth, 6¼ across the frame and the traditional French chain handle drops 6½ inches.  Thank you for considering this elegant little French beauty, I do believe you will enjoy carrying it to your next special event.
