This is the second rare 18th century hand embroidered ivory silk waistcoat I am selling on behalf of a friend and again sadly not in the best of condition. The waistcoat has some light staining, two small areas have silk shredding and the back is in tatters also a small light blue stain to the silk on the collar so please see all images to assess. On a more positive note the hand embroidery is very fine exquisite work and the colours are still very fresh and bright especially con...sidering age. There are eight hand sewn small buttons which are all in good condition. The whole waistcoat is hand stitched and the inside lining is I believe cotton with silk borders. Waistcoat is quite small and approx. sizes are 29cms across the shoulders and maximum length from shoulder is 53cms. Please see the other 18th century waistcoat I am listing from the same home. Will accept cheque drawn on U.K. bank or Paypal.Shipping costs: U.K. £4.00 2nd class signed, Europe £9.35 signed or World Zone 2 £10.90 signed
