Description

Entirely hand-stitched pair of braces. The majority is made of silk canvas worked with a leafy vine in shades of green, yellow and brown. The ends and sides are finished with white silk, lined with white watered silk. Each back end has a heavy ribbed silk tab finished with a silk point with a buttonhole. Each front has a narrow point at each end, looped through a beautiful cast brass buckle that allows for adjusting the length; the underside of each strap is faced with white kid where it rubs on the buckle.
