Vintage Find of the Day

Talk about Fa-bu-lous, this Rare 1920's BUTTERFLY DESIGN Glass BEADED Fringe found at StylishRibbons on Etsy, wowed us all. 

fringe

This seller acquired this magnificent 1920's Lamp Fringe at a Fine Estate Auction a few years ago. She went crazy bidding on it; had to have it, and it has now sat in a box for almost 10 years. She decided it was time to pass it on to someone who will use it.  She thinks this was designed to be a lamp fringe, but bought it with the idea in mind of making a purse with it as fringe. There is enough of it to use on a cape or dress. How about a flapper girdle around the waist?   There is 59" of this magnificent fringe; the longest strand is 6". The colors are vibrant orange, royal blue, rose pink, copper, emerald green and there are large gold beads at the bottom. Beads are attached to a heavy cotton trim. Of course, a large heavy beaded piece like this that is 80 years old will have some bead loss
