Very Long Exquisite reclaimed hand embroidered length on Silk Chiffon
Sold Out
I can't begin to tell you how beautiful this piece is. The tiniest of seed and loop stitches form together to illustrate a cascade of flowers in the most gorgeous of tones. Good condition for age. This was reclaimed from a silk gown that had ended its journey. It took hours to gently unpick all the small hand stitches but it was worth it to rescue such a wonderful laboured length. Unsure of exact age but the gown appeared to be early 1900's. I have taken lots of photographs so you can see the details.
Good structural condition for age, just a few pulls to the stitches here and there
Silk embroidery on a silk chiffon base.
Measures 168cm x 6cm (the chiffon is folded over at the edges and this is marked with simple age blemishes, the fold over is not included in the 6cm width).
I have two lengths available at time of listing.
