Wedding Braces
1850's


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


Cataloguing


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


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.
