Pristine Set of 2 Antique 1900s Green Gingham Aprons + Matching Separate Handmade Lace
ABSOLUTELY MINT NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) — Originally Starched & Never Washed
An extraordinary, historically intact time-capsule set dating back to the turn of the 20th century (circa 1900s). This collection features two beautiful green-and-white gingham (Vichy) cotton half-aprons and one separate coordinating piece of handmade lace. These items were meticulously handcrafted "in prock" (stored away as future family heirlooms) and have spent nearly a century untouched in a storage chest.
Collector's Dream Condition: These pieces are exceptionally stiff, crisp, and retain 100% of their original historical starch. They have absolutely no signs of laundering, wear, or fading. Truly investment-grade textiles.
ITEM 1: Gingham Apron with Geometric Border
- Length: 33 inches
- Embroidery: Masterfully hand-stitched using the traditional "Chicken Scratch" (also known as Amish or Snowflake embroidery) technique in white cotton floss, creating an elegant optical lace illusion over the checks.
- Hem: Finished with an exquisite handmade crochet lace border.
ITEM 2: Gingham Apron with Floral Vine Border
- Features: Created as a matching pair to Item 1, but showcases a completely different, highly elaborate hand-embroidered floral vine and blossom motif.
- Hem: Finished with a gorgeous, heavy dimensional floral crochet lace trim.
ITEM 3: Separate Matching Handmade Lace Trim
- Dimensions: 26 inches x 6 inches
- Details: A fully completed, unused piece of separate handmade crochet lace, executed in the exact same pattern and cream cotton thread as Item 1. A perfect matching accessory for restoration or textile archives.
