1940s Hand-Beaded Rosette Evening Bag

Truly one-of-a-kind. This 1940s hand-designed bucket-style evening bag is shaped like a top hat and completely covered in intricate black seed beads. The lid features three dramatic rosettes - one in velvet, one in satin, and one striped - accented with pearl and jet bead centers for a romantic, couture-inspired finish. The structured silhouette and whimsical shape make this piece as collectible as it is wearable.   A rare mid-century design, this purse opens via a tethered lid and features a black satin interior. The handle is fully beaded as well, and the craftsmanship speaks to the attention to detail found in luxury accessories of the era.   Details: Era: 1940s Style: Hand-beaded evening bag / top-hat bucket purse Color: Black with gray/silver accents Materials: Seed beads, satin, velvet, internal cardboard/structured base Size: Approx. 6.5” tall x 6” wide (base) Condition: Good vintage condition with mild interior wear and small bead loss near the rim (see photos); structure is i
