Vintage Mary Frances Handcrafted Box Minaudiere Black Gold Beaded Chain Tassel

Authentic vintage Mary Frances handcrafted box-style minaudiere featuring dramatic black and gold detailing, heavy chain strap with woven cord, and decorative tassel accent. This is a rigid, structured statement bag made with mixed materials and ornate surface embellishment, consistent with Mary Frances designs from the late 1980s to early 1990s.

The exterior features textured composite panels with raised decorative elements, metallic trim, braided detailing, and a central cabochon-style accent. The chain strap is substantial in weight and feeds through reinforced grommets at the top. A hanging tassel with weighted bead detail is attached at the side.

Interior is fabric lined and retains the original Mary Frances woven label along with a vintage production/lot tag.

This is a true vintage piece and shows age-appropriate wear including surface wear, patina to metal elements, and minor embellishment wear consistent with handmade construction and age. No structural damage noted.
