Elegant Handbags Facts & Tips

 


French Beaded Evening Bag with Carved Cameos


<<<< Back to French Beaded and Elegant Handbags page 2

 

This is truly an impressive 1930's French beaded evening handbag, hand made and worthy to be carried by a queen.

France is well recognized for creating some of the more superior of the elegant evening bags and this example is a delight to behold.



 

    

The overall appearance is pure elegance and will grace the finest black tie event, evening at the opera or whenever you will want to command some attention.  The bag is covered in tiny round black glass beads and so is the carry handle.  The simplicity of the purse is crowned with a fabulous gold tone frame, having a spring tension clasp that is well etched along the span of the top.  The front of the frame is heavenly with six expertly carved cameos, all encircled with faux pearls.  Each beautiful cameo has it's own individual personality and they do have the appearance of carved shell, having  lovely yet subtle iridescent qualities.  I think the pearls must be faux but they all look extra fine.  All elements of the frame and decorations are in excellent condition, damage free and working as it should.

   

The original interior lining is a quality black satin with dual pockets, one is labeled, as shown.  It looks basically  new, as does the entire purse.  The interior is reasonable roomy and will carry your essentials for a successful evening out.  This handbag has been professionally cleaned and very well cared for.  I find no problems with this French evening purse.  I did have to secure the handle better where it attaches to the frame but everything looks great and will serve you for decades to come.  The measurements are, stuffed with tissue: 5 in height by 8 inches at it's widest by 6¼ across the frame,  sides span out about 2 inches and the  beaded handle drops 5½ inches.  All elements of this purse are secure to the frame at all points.  There is lots to admire about this French purse, including it's desired condition and eloquent character.  Let me know and I'll place it aside, just for you, I know you will adore carrying it.
