A rare and highly desirable Art Deco beaded handbag by Fremor, one of America’s most respected makers of luxury vanity and evening bags during the golden age of Art Deco design.
This striking example features an elegant oval form entirely covered in thousands of shimmering steel-cut style beads, creating a dazzling surface that catches the light from every angle. The bag is crowned by a rich amber-coloured Lucite lid with original brass clasp and fittings, while the dramatic sculptural handle is formed from densely beaded twisted loops, giving the piece a distinctive architectural presence.
Combining fine craftsmanship with the glamour of the Jazz Age, this handbag perfectly captures the sophistication and innovation of American Art Deco accessories. The contrast between the glittering beadwork and warm translucent Lucite creates a luxurious and highly decorative effect that remains as appealing today as when first produced.
A beautiful display piece and a highly collectible example of period fashion design, equally suited to a handbag collection, Art Deco interior, or museum-quality costume and accessory collection.
Presented in excellent vintage condition with attractive age-related patina to the metal fittings and no significant losses to the beadwork.
