This exquisite antique beaded purse from Germany, dating to around 1850, is a remarkable example of 19th-century craftsmanship and textile art. Richly embroidered with vibrant glass beads in exceptionally fresh and bold colors, the purse features a charming depiction of a dog on one side and a colorful parrot on the other. The attention to detail extends even to the edges, where additional animals and floral motifs are intricately stitched, showcasing the skill and artistry of its original maker. The interior is lined with fine, buttery-soft deerskin leather, offering a luxurious tactile experience. While some minor bead losses and carefully executed repairs are visible, the overall condition is impressively well-preserved for its age. The drawstring is missing, but with the addition of a new ribbon, this delicate piece could even be used again—though it remains most striking as a collector’s item or display piece. Antique purses like this, especially with such vivid imagery and expert beadwork, are increasingly rare and highly sought after. A wonderful find for lovers of textile history, decorative arts, or romantic Victorian accessories.
