Description from the seller

Murano glass microbeads, Venice.
Small masterpiece of Venetian craftsmanship, this handbag from the early 1920s. It is new, still with the original sales tag.
The Burano microbead creations, the island of Venice where women worked the microbeads by hand, were exported worldwide for the charm of artistic talent and the technical skill with which they were made: about a thousand microbeads per 7 cm squared.
This handbag has a jewel-like metal clasp with a gold finish, enriched by an intricately carved hook, a large central stone and eighteen beads.
The 33 cm chain is fixed to each end of the frame.
The interior has a pure silk lining with vintage trims, made entirely by hand.
These bags are collected for their craftsmanship and historical importance,
It will be sent with careful packaging and insured shipping.
