RARE 40's FURMAN Satin Beaded Handbag
This is a Rare Furman Handbag. It is Handmade of Satin and Iridescent Navy Faceted Glass Beads. It also has a Mirror inside in the Slide Pocket. The Shape with the Pointed Corners is very Art Deco! There is an Old Handwritten Note inside that states: "Custom Made for Wife of New York Diamond Merchant as Part of Her Trousseau." It also gives details about a Glass Case lined in Leather. Apparently at one time it was Displayed in a Glass Case. The note in the Handbag indicates it is 50-75 years old. If that were written this year that would put it at 75 years old or roughly 1947. Of course, the note is old. This could even be from the 1930's.
