FAB FIGURAL DECO BIRD BEADED BAG--CELLULOID FRAME!

This SCENIC BEADED BEAUTY features a BIG BIRD and CELLULOID FRAME! Is it a STORK or EGRET? You decide! This unusual scenic 1920s Deco vintage beaded bag sports a unique outdoor scene and vivid colors of sky-blue, green, cream and peach set off by the FAB fringe!

To top it off, this vintage flapper purse features a matching colored fab French floral celluloid frame--the celluloid is nice and thick, not flimsy or warped; one tiny wear spot on top. This colorful cutie retains its original silk lining and is in EX-Near Mint condition overall with little, if any, wear. Beaded handle retains 99% of its beads and is in fine shape, but I wouldn't recommend carrying it by the handle as it's a bit fragile.

NO holes, flaws, wear or tears--this rare find is in super original condition with newly-added fringe in bright colors that accent the design perfectly.

Best to display flat, not hanging on a wall, this bright beaded bag measures approx 10" long by 7.5" wide across frame. Beaded handle adds 6 inches.
