Antique: Fashion: Accessories: Vanity. Very rare beaded and fringed scarf with secret miser&#39;s purse, ca. 1910. Amazing museum-quality find for vintage fashion collectors, this scarf is crocheted as a tube and its smaller end is sewn to form a concealed "miser&#39;s purse". It has 11 quadruple rows of glittering facet-cut steel beads around both sides. Both fringes are made completely of these tiny glittering French-made beads -- the wide fringe is a fantastic spider web intricacy; the smaller consists of fine cable twist strands. The two fastening rings are concave with SPIRAL faceting, made of thin polished steel simulating silver. 42 in. L overall. Has been stored in a trunk so condition and colors are excellent, unfaded deep rose or claret and rich midnight blue. Photos do not do it justice due to light reflections glinting off the beads. Direct from a private estate.
