Large lot of beaded Victorian mourning dress pieces with jet black glass beads.
Most pieces need repair or remade into new pieces.
Very obviously handcrafted pieces made with skill and time.
All pieces were removed for photos and put back into their individual containers
These pieces primarily date from the late Victorian era through the 1920s. During this period, heavy black beadwork made from French jet (black glass) or vulcanite was popularized for Victorian mourning attire.
I do not know the exact date of the original pieces.
There are thousands of these gorgeous glass beads in various sizes and styles.
Please view ALL photos carefully these are sewing salvage not full pieces (though a couple of them are still in decent condition for their age and wear). These are sold AS IS... they are pieces with loose threads and beads.
