English & European Dress 17th & 18th century

Rare and unusual antique dress and accessories. Ladies open robes and gowns, petticoats, fichus, hats, shoes, reticules and underpinnings. Gentlemen's embroidered and woven waistcoats, suits and accessories and dresses for children. Clothing from the Stuart, Hanoverian, William and Mary and Queen Anne periods. Spitalfields woven silks and damasks, embroidered and printed cottons and linens. Chinese embroidered and painted export dress fabrics are a special interest. Dress from Charles I and II and the Georgian periods. Gowns and robes of Spitalfields silk brocade, weaves and embroidered garments. Gentlemen’s suits, waistcoats, breeches and accessories. I am very interested in the India and China export trade so you will find items of dress hand painted or embroidered, the fabric made specifically for the Western market.
