This is an exquisite antique French ribbonwork embroidery stole/scarf!!
It is made of beautiful fine tissue silk covered in large pink ribbonwork roses! Along with lots of embroidered green leaves and half round-ish designs....But wait there's more! There are also ribbonwork pansies in yellow and pink along with more embroidered leaves. It is dreamy!! These motifs are found on both ends of the stole. I think the background color is a very very pale green. It is so pale it's pretty much a neutral.
It measures 67" long (not including the fringe, which adds another 8" to each end) x 21" wide.
The AS IS:
There is a small hole
There are also some small pin prick holes.
There is a stain.
There is a stain on one of the larger ribbonwork roses.
The silk ribbonwork roses on one end are starting to degrade.
