Exceptional Venetian beaded purse with stunning jeweled frame featuring the famous Rialto Bridge scene complete with gondola passing beneath. The buildings along the waterfront behind the bridge can be seen reflected in the water. The gondolier can clearly be seen with paddle outstretched. This beautifully-worked bag is created with the tiniest of Venetian glass beads. Now to the frame: an exquisite creation of filigreed brass with a myriad of jewels and enameled decorations. The stand-up clasp features a large abalone jeweled center and the drop pendant has a large green cabochon. Interior has been relined in green silk. Fringe is worked in the same colors as the purse ... scan makes it look white, but it matches the background. All in all, this purse is in excellent condition with no bead loss or damage that I could discern.
