Romantic lily needlepoint bag from the 1950s.
The lily is a rare pattern in vintage needlepoint bags, a nice change from the pretty posies you so often see. The background is an antique ivory, stitched in the center is a triple spray of Cala Lilies which is framed by a garland of dusty pink, wild roses.
The bag is bell shaped with an ornate gold frame and clasp. It has a heavy chain handle which has a dark patina from age. I never polish off a true patina because I like the vintage feel it lends but you can if you want it to shine more.

The base has four brass knobs to protect the material when you set the bag down and inside is lined in a rosy taupe taffeta. It has it's original comb, mirror and change purse. There are a number of inner pockets including one for lipstick. The needlework is the same front and back and the narrow edge is detailed with a row of flowers and fine piping..

This bag was never used and is in beautiful; condition. It is an average size with the following measurements.

Body - 8 1/2" tall (not including handle)
by 10" wide

Side width - 3 1/2"

Excellent Condition
