Description
A striking early 20th-century hand-beaded purse, attributed to Whiting & Davis, featuring vibrant floral motifs in raised glass beads. Each flower—rendered in turquoise blue, rose pink, and golden yellow—is outlined in contrasting white and brown beads against a deep velvet background, framed with bright red velvet trim.
The purse’s hand-stitched construction, micro-bead detailing, and white beaded edging exemplify early American handbag craftsmanship circa 1910. The interior retains its original cotton lining, now partially fragmented with expected fabric wear from age.
