Up for sale is a stunning, authentic 1920s flapper era dress fragment. This piece features a heavily hand beaded design constructed completely out of tiny, luminous pink glass seed beads. The ground fabric is a peach/apricot toned silk.This garment is UNWEARABLE in its current state due to age related distress and fragility. It is being sold exclusively as a historical artifact, pattern study piece, or a source for harvesting antique glass beads.The silk backing is structurally weak, showing prominent tearing, splitting, and shattering, common with weighted silk of this age.The central beaded floral motifs remain largely intact and beautifully preserved. However, due to the splitting fabric, there are areas of loose threads and localized bead loss along the damaged margins.This is an incredible opportunity for a vintage fashion restorer, museum archivist, costume designer, or textile collector to own an authentic piece of 1920s history.Sold strictly AS IS with no returns. Please review all photos closevly.
