Vintage 50s Evening Bag in White Microbeads France Elaborate Scrollwork Octopus

Gorgeous dressy bag in the micro-beaded style, it has a white background with an ornate, octopus-like design of a rosette surrounded by scroll symbols in gray, pin, and ivory. The design is repeated on the rear. Top of the hinged opening is delineated in more detailed beadwork with leaf and branch motifs. Front clasp is a rounded panel of white beads surrounded by a golden metal braid. There is a long, chunky, gold chain shoulder strap to complete the look. Interior lined in cream colored satin and has a small slit pocket. Features a label "made in France".

Length across the bottom 10"
Height without strap 6 1/4"
Strap drop 17.5"
Depth when open, at top 4"

Condition: very good with no missing beads or tears, but there are a few discolorations to small sections of the white beading here and there -- hard to spot unless pointed out in direct light (see details in the pics). Interior has a few stains as pictured. Priced accordingly.
