An exquisite vintage evening bag, hand-beaded in Belgium, showcasing thousands of lustrous white seed beads adorned with golden floral motifs. The symmetrical design is highlighted with delicate bronze branch-like accents, while the gilt clasp features ornate filigree spheres, adding a touch of glamour.
A striking antique brass handbag, richly embossed with circular floral medallions and intricate foliate patterns. The geometric symmetry of the design showcases fine metal craftsmanship, while the chain handle adds both practicality and elegance.
The clasp is a standout feature — two stylised birds facing one another, symbolising harmony and devotion, giving this piece a romantic flourish. Likely crafted in the mid-20th century, handbags such as these were produced in India and the Middle East as decorative evening purses and are now highly sought after as statement accessories or display pieces.
