Stunning cream colored stockings with beautiful floral embroidery on the front.

Stockings are a bit difficult to date, as they did not change much in style over a few decades, but I have seen similar designs with this kind of embroidery in catalogs from the 1870s up until the 1910s.

I did not find any markings, aside from a very faded stamp inside the top, which may be a number 6, but I can't quite make it out.

I am not sure of the fabric content. They may be a silk or silk blend. They are soft with a bit of stretch.

+++ Measurements +++

8. 25" from heel to toe (they have an additional couple of inches of stretch)

22" tall from base of heel to the top of the stockings

+++ Condition +++

Lovely condition for their age with some minor flaws to note:

* Several small mends and a few scattered tiny holes

* Some faint discoloration/staining, but nothing major

* A bit of missing thread in a few places in the embroidery

These are wearable with care, but would also be beautiful for display or as study pieces.
