Very Good Condition - a few very faint stains, but no significant concerns. This listing is for a phenomenal antique woman's apron of either American or European origin.
It is made of fine homespun linen with whitework embroidery of very fine quality. The metal hooks at the sides are surely replacements for older fasteners or ties. The photos should speak for themselves, but please do not hesitate to ask if you are interested in any other details. It has been very well preserved over the past century.
A note regarding condition: All of the costumes and textiles that I sell are vintage and have typically seen decades of use resulting in expected wear and tear that add to the history and authenticity of each piece. In case of above average wear, I try to list any significant damages and heavy signs of use in the above description. Small holes or stains, missing sequins/beads, worn trim, and other marks related to standard wear are common and do not detract from the value of most pieces. Please keep in mind that a vintage textile or garment in very good condition might still show signs of use, storage and age. Unless otherwise noted, all of the items listed for sale are in very good, stable condition and are suitable for use, wear or display.
