SUPERB ART NOUVEAU / DECO EVENING BAG SILVER MICRO BEADS MAGNIFICENT :
$350.00

THIS IS A MUSEUM QUALITY 1920’S FRENCH 950 SILVER AND CUT STEEL BEAD EVENING BAG . IT IS BREATHTAKING IN ITS DETAILS AND DESIGN WHICH STRADDLES THE BEST OF ART NOUVEAU AND ART DECO . THE FRAME IS MARKED TWICE WITH THE FRENCH MARK FOR 950 SILVER AND THERE IS A MAKERS MARK WITHIN A DIAMOND SHAPE BUT IS HARD FOR ME TO SEE . I BELIEVE THIS WAS HAND BEADED WHICH WOULD HAVE REQUIRED MONTHS TO MAKE. THERE IS NO LINING .THERE ARE SOME TASSELS MISSING BUT THEY ARE NOT REALLY NOTICEABLE . THE ANGELS AND DOLPHINS ON THE FRAME ARE SUBLIME AND SO MUCH FUN AND THE SILVER TASSEL HAS AN ANGEL ON A SWING . THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE SEEN IN 40 YEARS OF ANTIQUING... A MIST FOR THE PURSE / VINTAGE EVENING BAG COLLECTOR . LENGHTH IS 12” INCLUDING TASSELS AND 7” WIDE . CHAIN IS 32” .
