Up for offer is this Antique-Vintage Purse with very-Fine (micro)-Beads. The multi-colored beads had been glued onto the cloth surface forming very colorful flower and leaf patterns. The metal clasp (frame) is still invery good condition ( the press-release mechanism works very well) and opens and closes very easily by pushing the center knob on top. This metal frame and carry-chain appears to be constructed ofcopper that has been gildedwith gold (some areas of gold have been worn off, down to the copper). There are sockets for 6-stones on top of this frame, of which 2-are missing. These nipple-shaped stones are a light green in color, and may-be(???) jade. The Purse dim. are: 6-1/2\" x 5\" s 3/4\"thick. Although all of the cloth material is still in tack (both inside and out), there are area(s) of both sides of the purse that are missing beads due to age, prior usage, etc.; especiallythe sides.
