View Vintage 1920s Beaded Flapper Purse Art Deco Black Red Glass Micro Seed Bead Bag with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Stunning Antique 1920s Art Deco Beaded Flapper Dance Purse (Reticule) Up for auction/sale is a beautiful, authentic piece of fashion history from the Roaring Twenties. This exquisite flapper dance bag features thousands of microscopic, dark iridescent glass seed beads woven onto a vibrant red crocheted textile base. The clever construction allows the rich red foundation to subtly peek through the dark beadwork, creating a magnificent color depth that shifts under the light. Designed for the fast-paced jazz culture of the 1920s, it features a heavy integrated wristlet loop meant to dangle securely from a dancer's arm while keeping hands free. It is beautifully accented with a tiered midsection fringe flap and a dramatic row of swinging glass beaded tassels along the bottom rim that catch movement perfectly. Design Details: Era: 1920s Art Deco Construction: Micro glass seed beads pre-threaded and hand-crocheted into the body. Fringe: Double-tiered looped glass fringe (mid-body flap and bottom hem). Closure: Classic open-top slouch style; relies on the weight of the wrist loop to close. Condition Report: Exterior Beadwork: Excellent Antique Condition. The exterior bead matrix is remarkably intact. The glass fringe tassels along the bottom and midsection appear beautifully complete with no major missing strands or unravelling observed. Interior & Lining: The red structural crochet base is rock solid, strong, and completely free of holes. Note on Wear: The delicate, original black silk lining panel has some loose threads. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully as they form part of the condition description. Sold as-found/as-described.
