ART NOUVEAU DESIGN FRENCH STEEL PURSE -- AWESOME -- JEWELED FRAME This is a very vibrant colored Art Nouveau design, with truly great colors...sky blue, royal purple, hot pink, a little light pink, nvay, tangerine orange, lime green, Grecian Gold, 14K Gold, Rose Gold and Bronze, plus pearly Silver background. Isn't this a pretty pattern? Florals and filigree swirls... I love the way the border pattern on the top sets off the rest of the dramatic design. The frame is to die for! It is heavily filigreed and with large jewels! Large 1/2 inch ruby red square jewels on the corners and 1/4 inch sapphire blue and emerald green round jewels, and the clasp has two emerald green rhinestones. You know how rare it is for steel beaded bags to have jeweled frames! This frame is the SAME ON BOTH SIDES...It's not possible to tell I am photographing BOTH sides, because the steel beads are as bright and vivid on both sides--usually there is one bright side and one dull side with steel, not so here...both like new, MINT condition. Colors are VIVID and jeweled frame both sides, so completely reversible for display. There is no flaw to report in the beadwork, and no missing fringes. All original. The lining is very good, but there are one or two splits. I would rate this purse MINT condition. It measures a generous 6 1/4 by 11 inches. It is one of my very favorites from my 28 year collection, for all the reasons mentioned above...for its bright colors and the fabulous Nouveau pattern, the frame and the super fine condition. One of the very best French Steel Purses you will ever find! $995
