Pair of Braces
1830's

These are quite beautifully made, both embroidered and plain stitching. It is unusual to find the attachment on braces. A great Christmas present.

The embroidery is very good, just one slight pale ivory mark to one side of the silk. The front attachments have a few slight tan coloured markings. The elastic has some light brown marks. The backs have a few light markings. Ask for photos.
