French Beaded Evening Handbag With Limoges Porcelain Cameos

About the Item

This is a French beaded evening’s handbag. It depicts a rectangular handbag body that has been hand stitched completely with tiny white pearly like bead glass. The work looks neatly done. At the upper top, there is a gold tone metal rectangular hinged lid/“door” with scalloped border adorned with gold and white glass beads that has been twisted and/or braided. Seven Limoges porcelain cameos decorated with Fragonard romantic couples scenes embellish the center of the lid. Faux tiny pearls frame them. A garland made of several rows of gold beads enhance the decor below the tiny faux pearls. An off white silk lining covers the inside of the bag that also has a small pocket.
