Wedding Braces
1850's

of ivory silk satin embroidered in ivory silks with a full blown flower and pointed leaves, with attached ivory leather, gold coloured buckles and having elastic back attachments with leather buttonholes

Comments

I have not seen just ivory silk braces before, only polychrome silk examples, so these are quite unusual.

Condition

The fronts are in excellent condition, but the backs are a little worn where buttons have rubbed the silk, and at the back top where they cross the man'e back, the elastic is slightly worn.
