Classic Art Deco black and silver beaded bag packs a lot of style in a small package. The faceted silver beads are steel, making this an unusual bag of this type. The top fastens with a zipper made by Talon indicating a US rather a Czechoslovakian origin. There is some wear around the corners of the beaded fabric handles and these have been reinforced. The interior is fully lined in spotless black taffeta with a single open pocket. About a dozen steel beads show slight darkening. (See detail) Measures 6 1/4 x 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.
