HOT ! Antique French Handmade Micro-Beaded Belt / Evening PurseCirca 1910–1920 | Silk

An early 20th century French handmade micro-beaded purse, dating to approximately 1910–1920. The interior label reads “Made in France – Hand-Made.”

This petite silk-lined purse features dense ivory micro-beadwork accented with delicate floral and scrolling embroidery in soft blush, sage, gold, and warm caramel tones. The bead field is intact with no missing beads observed under close inspection.

One original beaded flat loop is sewn to the reverse, allowing the piece to be worn on a slim belt (up to 2.5\" wide belt) as shown — an elegant and surprisingly modern detail that transforms it from evening purse to wearable belt pouch.

The original silk lining remains intact and structurally sound. There are minor age-related marks consistent with a piece of this age, including small red transfer spots to the interior. The purse has been carefully hand-rinsed and dried flat to preserve the integrity of the silk and beadwork.

Approximately 7.25” wide x 4.5” tall
