Vintage 1940s Handbag, Purse crafted Grandee Bead in the USA ca 1940s.  This wonderful Purse is designed with rows of white beads secured to a mesh fabric backing.  Randomly, green and pink threads have been embroidered to create the illusion of flowers - these designs were covered with clear beads for protection.   The detailing is amazing.  The bag is secured with a silver toned metal hinge and simple "ball clasp" closure.  A beaded strap/handle is securely attached to the metal frame hinge section.   The interior is a white faille fabric.  

In very terrific condition with few signs of use or storage -   We didn't notice any missing beads.   Measures nearly 6" high from base to top beads (not including clasp)   x 9" wide.  The strap has a 5" drop.  The label is imprinted on the inside of the bag.


Also, Please feel free to ask questions before you buy.
