Category: Evening Bags
Date: c. 1920s
Materials: Platinum-toned glass seed beads, midnight-blue knit base
Dimensions: 4.25" W × 7" H, excluding strap
A hand-beaded 1920s reticule crafted from luminous platinum-toned glass seed beads over a midnight-blue knit base. Diagonal bands of beadwork create a graphic Art Deco pattern, while looped fringe along the upper and lower edges gives the bag beautiful movement and texture.
The drawstring closure is finished with beaded tassel ends, preserving the refined handwork and decorative detail characteristic of the period. Petite yet striking, this antique evening bag feels both sculptural and wearable—a special piece selected for its unusual palette, intricate construction, and beautifully preserved craftsmanship.
Excellent antique condition for its age, with light wear consistent with a piece nearly a century old. The beadwork, knit base, fringe, and drawstring remain remarkably well preserved.
