Beaded purse

[Cindy Sanders]

This was handed down in the family but don't know where it came from or who. Does anyone have any info on it like how old it could be worth etc.?

Hi,

The forum doesn't allow items to be valued or authenticated so I can't help there.

What I can say is beaded items, bags purses can be very difficult to date unless there are signs otherwise and I have seen and have examples, that look Victorian/Edwardian and are post WW2 and 70s.

Its a poor photo but something about the roses, the colours it could well be of some age--but then again.

It looks lovely. Do you have a photo of the inside?

I have a similar purse that belonged to my mother - although I think it may have been her older sister's first. I believe mine is
C. 1920s:

Mine is fairly small and lined in dark blue silk.
