*Sale* Late 19th century figured cotton blouse with hand-embroidered trim
This is such a lovely and unusual piece - made from a delicate damasked cotton of a sort that I haven’t encountered before, with a fine ruffled hand-embroidered trim. It has some small damaged to the collar, and the ruffles have come unstitched from the cuffs. There is a small graze damage to the fabric at the back, and a small puncture hole at the bottom of the back of the shirt. All these damages have been photographed and they are all minor fixes for someone with a little patience. It does up with mother of pearl buttons.
It measures 57cm from armpit to armpit lying flat across the front buttoned up.
