A rare and exquisite antique flapper-era handbag from the 1920s, this Art Deco beaded purse is a true collector’s gem. Hand-beaded with glimmering iridescent black and midnight blue seed beads, the front features a striking floral motif in blush pink and cream. Finished with intricate looped bead fringe along the bottom edge and a braided drawstring closure.
The strap is wrapped in original silk, showing wear consistent with age, and the interior is lined in black fabric with visible aging (see photos). This piece is both a wearable treasure and a display-worthy relic from the Jazz Age.
