Truly amazing and Rare 19th Century Microbead Reticule Purse. It has a steel drawstring and velvet lining. The colors of the beads, including the cornflower blue and the red and also the design date this bag to c. 1850 or perhaps slightly earlier. Price reflects the fact that there are a few repairs needed - there are about five smallish holes and one of the rings that holds the steel drawstring has come undone. The lining is in incredible shape for the age, there are only four very small spots. Some bead loss on tassel ball and one strand damaged on tassel. This is a great project piece for you, part of your collection, or I can have it repaired. Contact me for details. Combined shipping always.
