Antique Micro Beaded Floral Purse

A petite early 20th-century micro beaded purse, worked in richly saturated glass beads with a soft, painterly floral motif. The palette—mossy greens, deep wine, and touches of blue—feels distinctly continental, likely French or Austrian in origin.

The beadwork has gently softened over time, with areas of loss that speak to its age and use. The metal kiss-lock frame retains a worn patina, and the simple cord handle adds to its understated, timeworn appeal.

Not perfect, but exactly the kind of piece that brings depth and quiet romance to a collection.
