Price reduced: 36,000 yen → Thank you for looking! This is an antique seed bead from France. It has been preserved with the original thread since its time. About 10 years ago, the owner of an antique shop purchased this item in France. The purchase price was around 36,000 yen. It's very valuable now, and I've kept it stored for a long time, but I can't use it all, so I'm putting it up for sale. Because it's antique, the holes are small, so I think an aari work needle won't fit. I've heard that those who do Luneville embroidery use these kinds of French antique beads, so Luneville embroidery should be fine. Also, its overwhelming presence is soothing just to look at. I'm selling it in hopes that it will go to someone who appreciates its value. I'm not sure where the thread is broken, but when I lift it, a few beads fall off, so the thread doesn't seem to be completely intact. It's an antique item that's over 100 years old, so the thread may be damaged, but the beads themselves are in good condition. I've marked it as "slightly scratched or dirty" because it was purchased by a professional. The color appears close to the actual color on my device, but please understand that the color may appear different depending on your device. This is a delicate item, so please purchase only if you understand. No further price reduction. #AntiqueSeedBeads #AntiqueBeads #Luneville #BeadEmbroidery #FrenchAntique #Antique
