Antique Black Silk and Velvet Drawstring Purse Embroidered with White Seed Beads
$68.00
This is a very old drawstring purse. The outside of the purse is black velvet, and it is lined with a black sateen type material and it has a large interior pocket. The outside of one side has two strips of black silk sewn with designs of tiny white seed beeds. The other side has one larger piece of the same. The bottom fringe is 1-1/2" long and is made of 1/4" black seeds and white seed beads. Above the fringe you can see the velvet is worn. The drawstring is black grosgrain ribbon. It appears that patches of silk with the white seed bead patterns were part of another item and were piecemealed onto the black velvet purse. The top of the purse has a band of white seed beads with quite a few missing. This looks to be Victorian era.
