Micro-Beaded Persian Rug Design. Here is an opulent and very graphic design, with a center circular motif. Notice in the close-up that glistening gold beads are used to set off this section. Fine, micro beads in a great combination of colors on an off-white background, and a border of two shades of green, yellow and black finish off the striking look. The frame looks like sterling, and I am 98% sure it is, but haven't found a mark. This purse also has a lining to die for, which was probably redone at some point, as it has a professional label 1950's style, French Bag Shop New York, inside. The lining is that rich pink satin and has pockets in which a coin purse and plastic comb reside. It is my belief that the owner of this lovely heirloom bag wanted to use it and since the lining was old and maybe worn, they paid to have it relined by experts. Which is also why the sterling mark is not visible, probably covered. Generous size 8 by 8 1/2. Sold
