Lot 61: A mid-century black beaded evening bag with iridescent floral accents and gold-tone frame

The auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

This unbranded mid-century evening bag is constructed with a black fabric base heavily embellished with black seed beads. The beadwork is arranged in a diagonal lattice pattern, with a clear iridescent floral-shaped bead positioned at the centre of each diamond section. The bag is mounted to a gold-tone metal frame decorated with a continuous embossed geometric and foliate border. The closure consists of a double ball kiss-lock clasp. It includes a fine gold-tone metal snake-link chain strap. No internal labels, manufacturer marks, or date codes are visible. Two adhesive stickers are present on the frame, likely representing inventory or lot numbers from a previous processing environment.


Condition report:

The bag is in very good vintage condition. The beadwork appears complete with no significant areas of loss or loose threads visible. The gold-tone hardware shows minor surface oxidation and light scratching commensurate with age and use.
