Dating to the 1920s, this evening purse reflects an era when accessories were as much decorative objects as they were functional. Intricately worked in tiny cobalt blue glass beads, its elongated fringe and delicate wrist strap capture the playful movement and ornamentation associated with Jazz Age fashion.
Beaded evening bags of this period were often carried to dances, dinners, and social gatherings, designed to hold little more than a compact, lipstick, or other small essentials. The rich blue beadwork catches the light with movement, while the floral interior offers a charming contrast to its exterior.
A century-old piece with beautifully preserved beadwork and one loose strand, carrying the character of its age.
