Antique beaded bag, probably circa 1900-1915. Arts & Crafts style decoration, and has had a silk-lined interior. Interior is now very tatty, the silk having rotted away, but there is still a little blue silk separate coin purse in there. The exterior beading has some losses on one side, (the other is very good) and also around the top of the frame. The handle has also suffered. But, an interesting display item, or you could possibly re-bead the areas of loss. (A good winter project!)
