Vintage Beaded Scalloped Purse

The primary item identified is a vintage-style purse, likely an evening bag or clutch, characterized by an intricate beaded design. The purse features a scalloped pattern, with rows of small beads meticulously arranged to create a textured, wave-like or fish-scale effect. The color palette appears to be a mix of brown, gold, and possibly off-white or cream beads, creating a subtle shimmering or iridescent quality as light reflects off the individual beads. The overall shape of the purse is rectangular or slightly rounded at the base, with what appears to be a small clasp or closure at the top center. The craftsmanship suggests a handmade or artisan-produced item, indicating attention to detail in the beadwork. Its age is estimated to be vintage, possibly early to mid-20th century, given the style and common use of such beaded accessories during that period. Surrounding the purse are other items consistent with a vintage aesthetic, including a piece of white crochet lace and a strand of faux pearls, which help contextualize the purse's likely era and purpose as a fashion accessory.
