Beaded Flapper Pouch Ivory AB Iridescent Beaded Purse Chain Drawstring Lined Antique 1920s
6 ½ long x 8 wide at bottom
Pouch top 4 inches wide when closed
Chain approx. 14 inches long when pulled
Sold As Is: see photos and comments for condition. Outside is crocheted with exquisite AB beads in ivory color; beads are sewn horizontally to create a swag effect with looped tassels at top. One bead string has a small tear at bottom middle. There is also a small fabric tear on the bottom right. Inside lining is soft green faille; there are a couple of minor stains at top near rings and two small holes from age wear; otherwise in good to very good vintage condition with no significant tears. Background fabric is green and yellow stripe somewhat faded. The closure is a chain with rings which I believe is an indication that this is an older piece. Chain works well but could be replaced with cording. This antique 1920's or earlier pouch purse is still in very usable condition!
