Antique Early 19th Century Embroidery Silk Hand Bag With Applique Bead work

About the Item

This rare and delicate bag was handcrafted in the early 19th century. The silk is covered with a net that is used or embroidering. The bag is decorated on one side with hand embroided flowers in red, yellow, light and dark green. The flowers are embellished by tiny gilt metal beads and framed by lozenges made out of polished git metal beads. These lozenges alternate with lozenges made up rom small flowers. Each flower is made out of black glass beads, one polished steel bead and three gilt metal beads. Inside these flower lozenges we see smaller lozenges made out of facetted steel beads and white glass beads. The other side shows leaves made up from glass beads in two different hues of blue, black and gold. The outline of the leaves are accentuated by polished gilt metal beads. Red and black stiches are used to create swirls in between the leaves. The silk cords and trimmings are in remarkable good condition. There are some beads missing but all the motifs are clearly reckognisable.
