Circa 19THC. floral silk brocade bodice..possibly remade and lined at a later date.The design on the silk is quite beautiful.

19" across chest.15-16" across waistline






Item condition:
In very good strong condition,One tiny minute spot is all I see..All items we list need to be cleaned.

From Me:

This was clearly in the midsts of being remade when someone gave up. There is enough details left though to show this was originally from about the 1740's. Here's another jacket with similar sleeves. And another over at Mara Riley's site. And, of course, the Snowshill Manor one (made famous by Janet Arnold).
