This is a significant piece of Victorian history. Handwork ribbonwork is rich and vibrant. Green embroidered leaves glisten. The ribbonwork has applique petals with bullion stitches that sparkle. Sequins make the rectangular outline special – only a few missing. Bullion “v” chain outline the outermost edge. Lined in ivory fabric. Front's background is a light green silk. SOUVENIR DE FRANCE is plainly stitched.
20” width x 16” height, of which 2.75” is the ecru lace.
Largest ribbonwork feature is at Center basket at 5”. Colors include red, ombre pinks, purple, copper, greens.
Stains are: 1.5” x 1” spot at the left, a 1” stain mostly inside the basket – as shown also on the backside and a spot to left of “souvenir”, plus slight spots under “France”. Overall lovely condition, allowing for the unfortunate staining; we have not attempted to launder.
