Antique 1920s Art Deco Micro Beaded Drawstring Reticule Handbag with ZigZags
Exquisite antique 1920s Art Deco reticule drawstring pouch bag rendered in thousands of tiny glass micro seed beads worked into a cream background. Features a geometric Art Deco design with chevron/zigzag bands. Finished with a crochet top collar, a twisted cord drawstring handle, and a colorful multi-colored beaded sphere tassel at the bottom base. A remarkable piece of early 20th-century textile art, perfect for antique purse collectors or vintage display.
