RARE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN 1800s SILK COTTON VELVETEEN SILVER EMBOSSED DOT FABRIC
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:3649603 | Material: silk, cotton velveteen |
Color: midnight/navy blue |
Salvaged from a child's bodice of the 19th century. It is very difficult to find this type of fabric. It is a fine, thin (but with substance) smooth, tightly woven silk, cotton velveteen with a cotton base. It is a rich shade of midnight/navy blue with teeny tiny embossed silver dotted swirl mot...ifs....very delicate. Loveliest velvet ever and a must for the collector of early velvet. Wonderful for doll costumers.
This measures approximately (partial bodice - not yardage)....I believe this may possibly be French in origin, but not absolutely certain. Exquisite, quality textile.....a tiny dotted swirl is about 5/16" in diameter.
It is being sold "AS IS"...
