Round embroidered motif with gold thread and beads

Journal des Demoiselles, Boulevart des Italiens, No. 1

Embossed pattern on lavender cardboard. Center motif is a flower in shades of violet and green on a white background. Around that pairs of beads, a gold circle, an eight-pointed star pattern with more beadwork and embroidery, and rounded with gold netting filled with pairs of beads. Probably purely for ornamental purposes.
