Please Read Condition Description Above......Very difficult to find...This is all that I have at the moment.
RARE and beautiful antique handmade/stitched 1860s-1890s tiny pure silk trim featuring the sweetest tiny flowers. They each consist of rich chocolate brown, puffy silk chenille centers edged with the finest, delicate feathery looped fringe. They are hand-stitched to a fine silk header with intricate detail (difficult to see). So very charming and a mus...t for the collector of rare trims. Authentic of the earlier era....in wonderful condition with no flaws that I detect. No two flowers are the same......of pure silk fiber content. French in origin.
This measures approximately 13" in length; each lovely flower measures approximately 3/4" in diameter (small trim width is about 1/8") and it is approximately 1/2" in-between each one. There are a total of 11 (eleven) flowers.
