About the Item
An exquisite handbag. Using an original 1920s celluloid frame, a beautiful crafted handbag of a combination of original black and cream silk has been made anew for the bag. The frame is two coloured, with the most charming and striking motif of a polka dotted butterfly, so very 1920s, and made of two coloured thin Bakelite. Piped in cream silk, and beautifully lined, with cream silk and silk flower trim, the bag has been made as the perfect match for the frame, producing an eye catching and magical piece.

A rare hand coloured celluloid and silk velvet 'rose' handbag, France, 1920s.
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A real collector's piece, and conversation point, this highly imaginative and charming handbag design is a rarity, and is wonderful to use and wear.
The centre of the 'rose' pulls to one side, releasing the catch, hence allowing the bag to open. The top is made from delicately hand curled 'petals' of coloured celluloid, the actual frame in dark green is robust and strong, with stronger green leaves, underlying the 'bloom'. The bag is made from mole brown silk velvet, with a black 'ruffled' trim highlight.
