Description :

A graceful pairing of early 20th-century evening handbags, each reflecting the artistry and luxury of its time:

  • Antique Petit Point Tapestry Handbag – A finely crafted vintage evening bag featuring a scenic needlepoint panel framed by an ornate gilt metal clasp inset with decorative stones. The stitching is exceptionally fine, typical of interwar Austrian or French craftsmanship, with pastoral scenes and floral borders that evoke romantic elegance. These bags were considered luxury accessories for evening wear, prized for their detail and refinement. Dimensions: 6.5" W × 6" H Estimated Value: $120–$140

  • Jorelle French Beaded Cocktail Handbag – A delicate 1920s–1930s evening purse adorned with intricate white, pink, and gold glass seed bead embroidery in a scrolling floral pattern. The gold-toned metal frame and chain handle add vintage glamour, and the interior includes a mirror inscribed “Jorelle”—a rare detail. A handwritten note from the original owner was found inside (see photo), adding a personal touch to its provenance. Dimensions: 8" W × 5" H Estimated Value: ~$70

Both bags show vintage condition with signs of age and use, consistent with their 90–100 year history. Ideal for collectors of fashion history, needlework artistry, or Art Deco accessories.
