RARE Antique 1840s Edwardian Silk On Silk Figural Monogram LAM Doily

Posted by admin On May 23, 2024

There is a lot to be said about this doily. This was completely hand made including the netting and lace work. It is not without a few problems. They are small and not noticeable immediately to the average person. The color’s are magnificent. This is the true heirloom, Silk on Silk. There apparently was a thinning in material that became a small hole. It is next to the trim that goes around the outside, in corner. It is not large, but it is there. There are two very thin slight marks that aren’t as noticeable because of the tree and the branches but they’re there. Please zoom in on every picture and look at this very closely for the details that I can’t put in writing as well as you can look at them, there are other minor things wrong but you can see everything in pictures. As far as washing goes, I would not wash this. I would ask a Museum if you have any questions on laundering or repairing that little hole if you want to do that. It’s extraordinary just the way it is. Myself, I would put it under glass and pass it down in the family. I’m certain, in this condition, that’s what a family did. It measures approximately 17 1/2 x 6. It’s not very large, but it makes a huge statement. It would be wonderful for a collector, or anyone that truly loves antique linens. Thank you for looking and have a special day! It will need a signature over 18 years of age. Be kind to others, it will come back to you!

A Rare Original Late Victorian Early Edwardian Antique Corset With Suspenders

Posted by admin On September 30, 2023

A Rare Original Late Victorian Early Edwardian Antique Corset With Suspenders. A Rare Handmade Late Victorian / Early Edwardian Corset. Being handmade I estimate this Corset to be of the late Victorian to Early Edwardian Period (1895 to 1900) as it does not have the typical S Bend curved frontage of the Edwardian Period. Made of a grey striped cotton material with internal boning the corset unusually has 2 suspenders attached to the front. The front does up with rivet hooks and the back with the traditional lacing to tighten as required. The top is edged with lace all around to give a feminine effect. Being a handmade Corset it is part machine sewn and part naively handstitched. Whether this is from adjustment or historical repair is unknown. The frontage isn’t quite symmetrical again from the handmade origins. There are rust marks on it predominantly where the suspenders have been attached. Again these have rusted (not suprising given age and use) and the pale pink suspenders have lost some of their elasticity over time. The rivets do have some rust particularly the lower one. There are marks and stains to both the front and interior of the corset again part of its working history. There are some eyelets to the back but some are just hand sewn again whether due to being handmade or being lost over time I’m unsure. The back ties are a pink lace which I’m assuming is a replacement from the original ribbon. The lace edging has fraying to it. The interior has what looks to be the name’Crewdson’ on it. Whether the maker or owner of the corset I have been unable to ascertain through research. I haven’t attempted to clean the corset and it is in an “as is” condition showing its history and story. One for the historical corset collector rather than purist. Width Open – Approx 31. Height Approx – 14 1/2. Chest is Approx 32 and listed as a UK 10 to 12 but please do remember these corsets were made to shape and form the silhouette. Please look at all pictures carefully, zoom in etc as they form part of the listing.
