    Price: $300.00

This is a gorgeous beaded purse done primarily in shades of navy blue with denim blue, green and red accents and a beaded center with flowers, buds and leaves in pink, rose, red, yellow and two shades of green.  The pattern is duplicated almost exactly on the back -- the only difference is the rosette cluster of navy beads near the center of the frame (this may have been a later repair, I'm really not certain as the beads are a perfect match).  The front side of the arched celluloid frame features an ornately carved and painted floral motif.  Overall size of the bag is 8" x 6-1/2" -- not including the two beaded dangles, which are 2-1/2" long.   Restorations: When I found the purse it was missing its 'plunger' clasp and handle.  I made a new plunger by drilling and darkening a pear-shaped filigree bead ... and it works like a charm!  For the handle, I used a 36" length of black chain, looped through the rings on each side of the frame so it can be carried in your hand or worn over your shoulder.  Interior has the original ivory satin-type lining.  The bag is in excellent restored condition, with little or no apparent bead loss (please click on the link above for more detailed views).   My price has been reduced to reflects the newly added plunger and chain.
