This Stocking is sure to be family keepsake! Heirloom style Christmas Stockings are meant to be passed down from generation to generation. Oftentimes they are created using the best of vintage and antique trims and this precious lace-filled Stocking is no exception.
The body of the Stocking was created using an high-end cotton Damask in off-white. Both the front and back of the Stocking showcase this lovely fabric! Layered with filet lace sheeting, the front ruffle of the Stocking was fashioned from the remnants of an old tiered lace petticoat of French Net Lace. The deep V ruffle at the center came from this rare, and beautiful, piece of clothing.
The front of the Stocking was made using some of the BEST pull-work I've ever seen. I'm not a lace expert, but I know gorgeous linen handwork when I see it. Once part of an antique/vintage tablecloth, I believe it quite possibly came from Europe. I can't be for certain, but early European handwork generally showcases this kind of quality, skill and workmanship...
At the toe and heel you'll find a sampling of even more vintage lace and a bit of Christmas Jingle tied up with vintage ribbon. Net Lace, also from the petticoat, makes up the flirty all around ruffle. It is sheer and so sweet and includes the original binding to the netting around the edge.
Six vintage shell buttons accent the front of the Stocking. At the side is a removable pin made with a petite pastel pink velvet rose. The leaves are lightly variated with shades of soft pink and pale sage green. Loops of Filet lace and vintage light pink rayon ribbon from the 1940's are included in the mix.
Lined with a scattered pink rose cotton fabric, the Stocking hangs from the looped hanger on the top right side.
About 7" x 18.5" including the all around ruffle. Custom label. Spot clean only.
Happy to combine your purchases.
