Two early 20th-century drawstring reticules featuring glass microbead decoration. The first purse displays horizontal bands of black and dark red beads with amber-toned plastic rings and a red silk lining. The second purse shows verticalsilver beaded stripes on black fabric, finished with a silver beaded fringe and a gunmetal-tone chain drawstring. Both items are hand-crafted examples of Art Deco-era evening accessories.The red and black purse has an intact exterior but the interior silk lining is shredded with significant holes and age-related wear. The silver and black purse is in good vintage condition with minor loose threads at the bottom fringe attachment.
