Vintage Micro Beaded Seed Beads Purse With Floral Needlework Handmade Hong Kong

Description: Found this great purse at a garage sale in Illinois. Elderly gentleman sold it to me in 2023. He stated it was his wife's grandmother's. So not sure how old that makes it; vintage or antique, not sure. Purse is approximately 9 inches wide and 6 inches tall excluding the handle. It is heavy for its size. Tons of white beads with gold trim. The flowers appear to be hand done needlework. Colors of needlework are great. There is staining in the white beaded portions both on outside and on fabric inside. Inside is lined with a satin type fabric. I see some loose threads in the satin but no tears. The top has gold colored metal at opening with handle attached to this metal. Handle is also covered in beads. Closure flap has rigid metal covered by fabric and beads which springs closed over opening. The spring is strong. I had to hold it open for the photos. The beading is great condition, many purses like this have loose strings and missing rows of beads. These seem well attached. There is one spot in last photo where I think there are a few missing beads. It isn't overly noticeable unless you're looking for it. Please see photos. Tag inside reads "Handmade in Hong Kong" Thank you for looking!!
