Small beaded purse with a rounded bottom. The beaded design consists of a row of cornflowers at the bottom, and forget-me-nots with a strange flower on the top. The frame design is composed of ferny arabesques and simple flowers, made of very shiny pinchbeck with chased highlights on the edges. It has two spring latches with buttons on either side of a center frame made of brass of a more coppery hue, with holes to receive the lining for two compartments. A small ring pulls on both sides.Collection
