Item Tag cord

This is a genuine antique beaded applique for a ladies bodice. There is a right and left side, all beaded with jet black beads in the Victorian tradition. Each side measures about 13" from top to bottom and 7 1/4" across the bust area. The right side as you look at the picture looks intact; the left side is missing one large black bead (see arrow) but other than that it looks intact. You are buying this as it is. The beads were strung on a black thread and seem to lay over and be attached to an underlying black cord making this pretty substantial in weight and giving it form. You are buying this as it is. Great workmanship and perfect for a costume or historical dress.
