Add a touch of authentic mid-century elegance to your wardrobe with this beautiful 1940s–1950s vintage petit point needlepoint tapestry purse. Perfect for collectors, vintage enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a statement evening bag for theater nights, weddings, and special events. • Design & Pattern: Features a vibrant, highly detailed romantic floral motif of blooming roses and wildflowers stitched over a classic rich black background. The tapestry design is showcased beautifully on both sides. • Frame & Hardware: Built with a stunning, mid-century arched/horseshoe brass frame featuring delicate stamped filigree patterning. It is equipped with a fluid brass chain strap and a classic, period-accurate pull-up release clasp that opens and shuts smoothly. This style of mechanism (where you lift or pull up on the small tab or ball to open the frame) was the dominant engineering choice for mid-century evening bags, offering a seamless look compared to bulky side-snaps. • True Vintage Craftsmanship: This piece showcases incredible historical charm—it is entirely hand-assembled. The inner lining and matching pinkish-purple ruffled gimp trim are intricately hand-stitched directly through pre-drilled holes in the brass frame, which carries a wonderful level of mid-century craftsmanship. • Interior: Lined in a beautiful, authentic 1950s solid lilac/lavender satin. The solid satin lining is completely period accurate of the 1950s, when contrasting pinks, blues, and purples were favored to line dark tapestry bags. Condition Notes:This is a genuine, well-loved vintage item with great historical character. The exterior needlepoint tapestry and brass hardware are in beautiful vintage condition. Inside, the delicate lilac satin lining has some gentle signs of age and wear. Please note that the original small slip pocket has been cleanly removed by a past owner, leaving a smooth interior ready for modern use (fits keys, lipstick, and smaller compact items perfectly!).Measurements: 8 inches length by 9.5 inches wide at the largest areas of the purse. Please see photos for sizing. Shipping & Shop Policies TemplateUsing clear policies upfront builds buyer trust and prevents returns due to vintage wear.
