Editor’s Note

A breathtaking example of Jazz Age craftsmanship, this authentic 1920s evening bag beautifully captures the elegance of the Art Deco era. Rich black silk is accented by intricate hand-beaded floral garlands in shimmering gunmetal, bronze, ivory, blush pink, sapphire blue, and emerald green, creating a sophisticated botanical motif around the frame. The purse is finished with a marbled faux tortoiseshell frame, matching chunky chain handle, and luxurious silver-gray satin lining, making it an exceptional collector’s piece that remains remarkably preserved nearly a century later.
