Caviar Beaded Box Bag

Rarely do I buy beaded bags but this 1950's example by Marguerite Fresse is just so appealing on so many levels.

The tiny, tiny caviar beads cover the entire bag.  Even the bottom is completely beaded.  The golden accents are sleek and subtle, lending a contemporary air to this vintage piece.  The interior is lined with a striking magenta satin.  There are two open pockets and a beveled mirror attached to the top of the bag.  The mirror is the only part of the bag that shows any sign of age.  The interior lining and the beadwork are pristine.

The bag is stamped in gold; Made in France, Marguerite Fresse, Paris.
