Very Vintage Early 1900's Steampunk Heavily Tube Beaded Pouch Purse Handbag - Repurpose or 2024 Restore

Here I've found what appears to have been a drawstring top purse, but It looks as though a thin chain could also be used. I believe the top is silk, it is very fragile and tears easily. The tube beads are lovely, most all are intact. This purse could be restored and/or repurposed to utilize the beads for other vintage projects. There are other bead sizes as well, more standard. Clearly this was the purse of an upscale lady, has stood the test of time and is available 2024 for your collection! Please consider the photos part of the description, if additional pictures are needed, please don't hesitate to ask. It was found in the box shown, although I don't believe that is the original box, I have no way of knowing.
