The finest French work was in beadwork. Beads were often used in conjunction with other techniques, to highlight parts of a knitted pattern or to form a solid base for soft purses. Very fine, multicoloured bead knitting was popular for purses, in which there was a single bead for every stitch, producing a dense beaded surface. This purse depicts a figure of a woman in a garden, leaning on a plinth with a rolled parasol in her right hand and a small dog at her feet"@en . "Beaded purse made in four sections and hemispherical. Each section bears an allegorical female figure. One represents Justice in a landscape in theatrical-classical dress. The design is worked in coloured beads. Lined with silk. With pink silk cords at the top with tassels and bobbles of yellow beads."@en . . . "1780 / 1800, France" . . "0.436100006103515625"^^ .
