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. Five smallish holes (pictured) 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 which are barely noticeable. Some bead loss on tassel ball and one strand damaged on tassel.
