French Art Deco Beaded Evening Bag

A striking example of French Art Deco craftsmanship, this intricately hand-beaded evening bag features a symmetrical geometric motif rendered in ivory, warm bronze, and soft silver glass beads. The composition evokes architectural lines and ornamental precision — hallmarks of the 1920s and 1930s decorative arts movement.
 
The bag is framed in engraved gilt metal with a sculptural clasp and delicate chain strap. The lower edge is finished with cascading beaded fringe, adding movement and texture. The interior is lined in silk and retains its original “Made in France” label.
 
Elegant and collectible, it reads as both accessory and object — equally compelling styled atop a stack of books or carried for an evening event.
