Late 1890's Pink and Black bodice







From the seller:
WE WILL BE LISTING A DOWNSIZING PHILADELPHIA ESTATE OVER THE NEXT WEEK THAT ACQUIRED THE CONTENTS OF A DRESS SHOP THAT CLOSED IN 1925. THEY PACKED THINGS AWAY FROM THAT ESTATE OVER 40 YEARS AGO ... QUALITY COLLECTORS ALONG WITH VINTAGE CLOTHING LACE AND TEXTILES DOLLS AND TOYS .. ALONG WITH A RETIRED DEALERS INVENTORY SHE WAS A PACK RAT

ALONG WITH FRESH TO THE MARKET MUSEUM DEACCESSION PIECES

THIS AUCTION: FROM A MUSEUM DEACCESSION - INCREDIBLE DETAIL ... CAN ALSO BE USED FOR DOLL CLOTHING PARTS TINY PINK FLOWERS CHIFFON LOTS OF SEQUINS AND 20 TINY BLACK COVERED BUTTONS ON SLEEVES .. OTHER PIECES FROM THE DEACCESSION LISTED


From Me:

It makes me sick to think anyone could *possibly* think this could be used for doll clothing. We do not destroy antique things, people! If it survived for 120 years and was in a museum, it means it has value. Would you paint over a Monet just because it got deaccessioned?
