The beads are cut and faceted, either Czech or Bohemian, the radiant colors include browns, gold, greens, maroon, pale rusty orange, hints of plum and a couple of in-between tones as well. The knit design is one of my favorites, the vertical swag with paneled fringes. The background color is a deep chocolate brown. The Victorian filigree frame is a delightful crown for the purse with lots of depth, close-ups show best tone. My photos show it well, it has a bronzy brass patination and is in well kept condition, all sound and working as it should. 
The interior has been expertly relined with an emerald forest green vintage silk and trimmed with a matching braid, very attractive. This stunning purse measures as follows: 8 1/2 inches top of frame to bottom, 7 across the bottom, 2 3/4 inches across the filigree frame and 1 1/4 in depth, brass chain handle drops over 6 inches. This antique handbag is from the turn of the 1900's or earlier and is in splendid condition, without flaws that I can find. It has been cleaned for you and will present itself well with your other treasured accessories.
