This 1900's drawstring purse is made from small seed beads and features purple swirls, and stylized multi-colored flowers with a navy blue background. Beaded with fine sparkling glass beads, this purse has identical designs on both sides. The bag has a looped fringe of blue rocaille beads and a black cord drawstring. There is a black fabric gather at the top which extends from the lining. My photography is not showing the colors very accurately. The fringe beads are navy matching the purse body. The purple color has a red tone and the tulips have orange accents.It's 8" long with a 1-1/2" fringe. It is 6-1/2" wide. Drawstring drop is about 5".It's in very good condition with no missing beads. The black lining is also in very good shape although there is some fraying on one side edge.
