Very Beautiful Work of Art. It’s A Truly Gorgeous Evening Bag.

It Features Hand Sewn Black Seed Size Glass Beads, Black Satin Interior and Metal Mouth & Tassel w/20 Rhinestones Snap Closure. Has 2 Inner Pockets w/Mirror & Looks Unused Inside and Out.

Condition is very good.

Brass or Metal has tarnished a bit in some areas but it can be cleaned up by new owner. There is a tiny pin that holds the tassel in place that needs to be adjusted so it doesn’t fall out but the pin is easily attached back through the tassel. Tassel closure works great & snaps tight. Please see pictures 19 through 25 for condition issues. The loose thread with some beads that have been pulled out but an easy repair in my opinion. (I will secure this loose thread for shipping & there is a row of missing beads on the back side edge of purse. It’s not very long row maybe 2 inches and It can be seen in the pictures.

Please see pics-of the metal mouth where the stitching of the beads has pulled away but still intact. It’s very slight but because of the weight of the bags beading most likely the reason why the hand stitching loosened over the years but looks like a quick repair by hand sewing the beads using a slip stitch. I’m not an expert on sewing or repairs. So please judge for yourself.

I believe that is all of the condition issues but you need to do your due diligence and ask for more pictures, information or concerns. Use magnifying glass option.

Dimensions are 7.5” Long x 10” Wide Handle Drop is 6.5 inches.
