An 18th Century sil panel from a gentleman's waistcoat. The pocket is missing, but there are signs of stitching. The embroidery is very bright without fading, I have photographed the back which shows the same colours. It is worked on a silk satin ground. the panel is 25 1/2" 65cm) long and 14 1/2" (37cm) wide, it is in very good condition. This belonged to a relative of Mr William Gaskell who was the husband of the famous Victorian novelist Mrs Gaskell.&nb...sp; I can send a photocopy of an interesting letter written to Miss Gaskell who owned the lace, by the granddaughter of the family who introduced Mrs Gaskell to Charlotte Bronte. The original will be sent to the National Trust.NB: I will only be posting once a week, as I have a member of my household who is in the vulnerable group and must not catch the virus.
