MARIA NIFOROS

FINE ANTIQUE LACE, LINENS, & TEXTILES

Rare 18th C. English Silk, Metallic & Beaded Needlecase
All the vignettes are surrounded by highly decorative metallic loops and tiny bugle beads. A museum quality piece, rare and superb in every way! Measuring apprx. 17" by 4 1/4". For it's age it is very good condition. There is some unravelling on silver braid, part of a mirror needs reattaching, and there are color variations from sun on the outer plain silk. All minor in comparison to it's rarity and age. Buyer may return if they do not agree.
