Antique 20s French Beaded Bag Round Art Nouveau Embroidered Purse

Intricately beaded purse from c. 1920s, it has an awe inspiring design of embroidered thread and beading in a series of mandala like interlocking shapes both geometric and floral in tones of gray, taupe, white, and silver. Round, sack like body opens on a hinge and closes with an ornate clasp at top. Handstrap is in matching, embroidered fabric. Interior is lined in silk and features a tag that says "made in France. Hand-made"

Fabric: Silk; metal; glass beads

CONDITION: Overall very good. No specific issues to note other than some expected green discoloration to small sections of the metal frame and clasp. There appears to be one small, pearl like bead missing from the clasp's flap at the bottom. Interior is very clean! No sign of missing beads or thread to the exterior!
