Satin from a Dress of Mrs. Daniel WebsterEntry/Object ID
2024.001.0058Description
Two rectangular strips of fabric with lightly frayed edges. They are the same color and texture and are likely part of the same dress. One includes a hem. Machine woven satin made from likely silk but possibly cotton. A photocopy of a scrap of paper with a handwritten note is attached: "Satin from a dress of Mrs. Daniel Webster that she gave Aunt Hannah Webster"
The color is cream with a yellow tinge, likely due to natural aging. The material is extremely delicate and thin, indicating a luxury item. The material, weave, and color point to this being part of a wedding dress, though that cannot be determined for sure.Collection
