Beaded Powder Box ?
« on: February 09, 2011, 03:56:41 AM »
Hi - I got this a long time ago, and only getting to it now.  It kinda looks like a powder (round) box, and it has a beaded top on it.  I know those old vintage beaded purse are worth a few $$$$ so I wonder if this might be worthy...

About4.5 inches wide, and 3 inches tall.  No mark that I can find...  :huh:  ;D  In very good condition, and very pretty. 

Maybe it is a *Dresser Box* or a *Trinket box* ??  It looks like the rest of it is made out of Satin on the outside, and the inside.  Any ideas ??

I think they are referred to as bugle beads.  I'm presuming the beads are glass and not some kind of metal foil?  Its very pretty :clap:

It reminds me a little of this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marks-and-Spencer-Beautiful-beaded-jewellery-box-/220735143505?pt=UK_Jewellery_Watches_JewelleryBoxes_Supplies_CA&hash=item3364d6fe51
This one might have been made in the Far East - may be India.

Whoops - l-o-n-g link  :o

Great link there -- looks like the same idea.  Maybe a newer version.  Looks like I am not going to get Rich...LOL...but those beaded purse are worth some money.  I guess like anything -- Demand on who wants it.

That link is a Nice one too -- and a Great price.  You folks should grab  :pst:  it anyways....and start a new collection of Glass beaded Boxes....

The box is covered with Satin.....so I really do not know what is under it.  I think it is pretty. 

 Something a little different...  :abduct:

Satin boxes were around in the 1980s & 1990s so I'd guess yours could well be that era, Rose. I have green satin covered one (without beads) which I keep hair ties in from the same sort of date.

Thanks Anne -- I guess to the Right person (ME) and the beads...I love it.  I have some of those older Beaded purse from the '50s or so.

lol.....in time it will only get older < like the rest of us too...>

They are lovely Rose.  Can you imagine how long it must take to sew the beads on individually?  :thd:  It takes me all my time to thread a needle and sew a button on :hlp: :censored:

Thanks Anne EB -- yeah, and it looks like it was hand done, as not every bead is exactly the same (some smaller ones) and some tiny flaws only when you look close.

I hate trying to thread ONE needle..  :censored:  :24:
