A white micro beaded evening bag, for Saks Fifth Avenue, France, 1950s.

About the Item

Of high French quality workmanship, this very smart and classic evening bag is all hand beaded, and has a very unusual and stylised opening/closure, of clear pastes set in gilded metal. The micro beading is applied in an 'arabesque' pattern in the centre panel of the bag, both front and back, and with borders of regular beading on the side panels.

  • 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. Many bakelite and celluloid bags...
