I have one the same here that belonged to my late mother in law. Mine has a tattered sticker that says made in either Italy or France, I forget which. I do know I researched it and found it to be from the 1940's. Like yours some of the beads on mine are somewhat saggy while most are still tight. Hope this helps a bit.
