Vintage Silk Velvet Evening Bag Gemstones & Gold–Silver Thread Embroidery

Vintage Velvet Evening Bag with Gemstones & Gold-Tone Embroidery

This magnificent vintage evening bag is a true work of wearable art—an extraordinary example of old-world craftsmanship and ornamental design. Fashioned from deep black velvet, the bag’s surface is transformed into a tapestry of astonishing detail, where gold-thread embroidery, fine metallic cord work, and vivid cabochon gemstones come together in a mesmerizing geometric pattern.

Each cabochon is carefully set within elaborate embroidered frames, forming radiant starbursts and floral medallions that echo the aesthetics of Old World couture, Eastern palace arts, and European decorative traditions. Shades of emerald green, amethyst purple, ruby pink, and deep blue create a symphony of color that contrasts beautifully with the velvet background, giving the bag a jeweled luminosity even under soft light.

The craftsmanship is exceptional throughout, with every stitch reflecting the meticulous handwork associated with luxury ateliers of the early-to-mid 20th century. The combination of textures—plush velvet, metallic thread, silk backing, and polished cabochons—creates a depth and richness rarely seen in contemporary accessories.

This handbag is ideal for collectors of fine vintage pieces, lovers of couture embroidery, and anyone drawn to opulent, museum-worthy objects. Whether displayed as part of a curated collection or carried for special occasions, it stands as a striking statement of artistry, elegance, and individuality.

A rare surviving treasure—bold, beautiful, and exquisitely crafted.
