1930s French Beaded Evening Bag • White Seed Bead Floral Clutch (Made in France)
$40.00
An exquisite, highly collectible piece of mid-century textile artistry! This vintage 1930s-1950s miniature evening clutch has been meticulously hand-beaded by French artisans, featuring a classic scalloped envelope shape and an elegant stylized floral pattern executed in micro seed beads.
The back of the purse features an integrated, matching beaded hand strap that lets you slide your fingers beneath to carry it effortlessly as a formal finger clutch. Pop open the brass snap to find a beautiful cream satin interior housing the prized, original raw-edged cloth label reading "MADE IN FRANCE / HAND-MADE."
Given its dainty, compact scale, this beautiful "pochette" is ideal for holding a vintage compact, lipstick, or wedding day essentials. A perfect heirloom choice for a vintage-loving bride, a high-end evening gala, or a curated addition to an antique accessory collection.
Measurements: • Width: 5 inches (measured across the widest point) • Height: 4.5 inches (measured from top of flap fold to bottom seam)
Condition Notes: This bag is in good vintage condition and remains structurally sound for display or careful use. Please note that it retains its original, untouched antique patina: - There is a small area of minor, localized seed bead loss on the top left back curve of the main body (visible in photos, exposing the underlying cream fabric texture). - Light, expected age-related fabric yellowing and minor spot-staining on the interior lining seams. - The internal brass closure mechanism works perfectly and snaps firmly shut.
We choose NOT to chemically clean, wash, or treat vintage beadwork to fully protect the structural integrity of the 70+ year old cotton threads. Sold exactly as found. Ships carefully packed in a sturdy box to preserve the delicate beadwork during transit.
