The condition is all you could hope for, simply splendid in every way. My photos are very good but the close-up of the six section pie shape shows all the marvelous tones that accentuate the beadwork. When you look closely at this purse, you will even discover an elusive hint of the same color that was used to create the lining for this beauty. The ruby cranberry cut and faceted glass beads are rich in a variety of iridescent shades that compliment this handbag beautifully. The original interior lining is a remarkable work of art, very well constructed, with multi pockets and some decorative needlework. Someone spent some serious time to make this a very special lining. 
 The attached beaded handle, which drops the purse by 6 inches, is also lined in the same fabric and maintains the original loop for keeping the handbag closed. So very few of these loops have survived over the decades. The handle is nice and wide at 1 & 1/4 inches, making for a very comfortable fit on the wrist. The outer perimeter is skirted with a full and complete row of matched fringes measuring 2 inches long. Overall, this purse is rather good sized, the body only is 7 inches from top to bottom by 6 & 1/2 on the diagonal, add the other elements and you have 15 inches in total length. The condition is fabulous, no damages, wear or bead loss. Everything looks nice and clean, well cared for, little if ever used, they don't get much better. Please consider this exceptional example from the 1920 era, you won't be disappointed.
