Vintage 1927 french steel micro bead purse

This is truly the most amazing beaded purse in my collection, straight out of the 1920's flapper era! The entire outside is expertly arranged & sewn steel micro beads, an outstanding example of an artisan piece. The beads are so small and expertly arranged, when touched it feels like silk. The colors are gold, silver, & gunmetal. Tears shown in pictures have lost few beads, and is from the seam becoming weak from age and use. Clasp is gone, but is easy to open with the push of small screwdriver.
