This is such a rare find and I absolutely love it. This is an antique micro beaded evening purse, which I would think has been lovingly hand made. One side is largely pink beading which depicts flowers and the initials L & G in the centre. On the reverse is more of a champagne palette and depicts a butterfly in the centre. The closure is a gold tone purse clasp, typical of the Edwardian era. Inside is a lovely pink fabric, which has retained its beautiful shade.
The handle is a leather strap and I am reliably advised it the original. It is believed that this purse has been painstakingly handmade using a pattern of its time, and a popular purse clasp, which you will no doubt see on a number of purses of this period. This offers would have taken the maker a considerable time to make and it has been lovingly looked after ever since. I would think that some of the beads have lost some of their colour vibrancy, but aside from that, its in very good condition considering its age. it doesn't appear to have lost a single bead and the stitching is all in place - a testament to its skilled maker.
The bag measures 15cm wide.
Whoever buys this beautiful bag will no doubt be delighted with their purchase, a one of a kind beautiful treasure.
