** for DISPLAY not for use **

Stamp/Label: none

Condition: Rather amazing for an early Victorian piece but 1) silk is shattering and delicate at top near drawstring. As such, this is intended as a DISPLAY piece for a collector, not for use. We notice 3 pin head size spots on back; unsure what they are but do not impair the piece. See pics. Sold as is.
