A unique example of a late 40|s vintage metal frame handbag. In this case the front and back are beaded in faceted black glass. The front surface is embellished with a three dimensional glass beaded daisy built out from the surface like a relief sculpture. Its multitude of loop petals hang free from the surface. The elegant beaded twist handle is entirely covered and no beads are missing. The wide gold metal frame is engraved with a 5/8-inch wide border and latches with two large spheres. The interior is fully lined with sumptuous brown satin. The space is divided in half by a gold-corded gusset mounted center partition. One side of the bag has a gold-corded open pocket; the other has a similar pocket with a lipstick slot built into its front surface. Excellent unused condition. Simply spectacular! Measures 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches with a 13-inch handle.
