An extraordinary Art Deco antique, this 1920s French cut-steel flapper bag captures the glamour, craftsmanship, and movement of the Jazz Age. Composed of thousands of micro-beads woven into intricate Deco motifs and finished with a dramatic beaded fringe, it’s a rare example of early 20th-century handwork—especially in a condition as beautifully preserved as this.
A slice of 1920s Paris, this rare piece radiates as much elegance today as when it was crafted over one hundred years ago.
Details:
Antique Art Deco French evening bag (c. 1920s)
Cut steel micro-beaded body with Deco patterning
Beaded fringe trim
Metal frame with kiss-lock closure
Delicate chain handle
Cobalt blue silk interior lining
Dimensions: 6” H x 5.5” W x 1” D (approximate, excluding fringe)
Condition: exceptional antique condition with age-appropriate patina; beadwork and lining are remarkably intact for its century-old age, one very light stain on the exterior of the bag and a gentle pull on the interior (see photos)
