Stunning and very well made, this large 6 x 10.5 inch vintage bag is made of tiny faceted shimmering silver, jet black and gold steel beads set into a geometric medallion design; the extra long fringe ends with a tiny 3 bead cloverleaf on each strand. The frame is ornately engraved with Acanthus leaves and scrollwork and a flower form push button closure; the frame also has an attached flower basket pendent; it is lined in peach silk with gold rick-rack over the sew holes; unmarked but mostly likely of French origin; frame is either German silver of silver plated; dates from ca. 1900 - 1920s; bag is in exceptional condition, fringe is complete,all beadwork appears sound
