classic navy blue steel beaded reticule bag is a prime example of this late 19th century style. The Greek key pattern in two sizes forms horizontal bands, separated by areas of twinkling individual beads. The fold over cuff around the top is trimmed in an intertwined beaded fringe. A silver chain threaded through rings closed the bag. A few of the beads have lost some luster and occasionally one shows some rust. Newly relined with navy silk. Measures 5 x 7 inches with a 3-inch tassel.
