Victorian Bee Embroidered Pouch

Sumptuous green velvet pouch with a striking embroidered bee design in golden lurex, zip closure with pom pom tassel, inner pouch and plain reverse. The bee was one of the most popular motifs of the Victorian period, carrying associations of loyalty, industry, community and the rewards of hard work that resonated deeply with the era's values, and appearing with equal frequency in jewellery, domestic metalwork, embroidery and decorative art. This travel pouch makes a lovely gift for any admirer of Victorian symbolism or for any bee enthusiast.
