Victory Pure Linen and Hand-Embroidered Textile Lot, Mid-20th Century

Item Details

This varied collection of mid-20th-century textiles showcases a range of domestic linens and personal ladies’ accessories. Central to the lot is a ‘Victory’ brand pure linen textile, identified by its original woven label and decorated with delicate hand-embroidered floral baskets in pink, yellow, and blue. The collection is further distinguished by several pairs of vintage dress gloves, including a pair with fine pink rosebud embroidery and scalloped edging. Also present is a significant length of black floral net lace and various white-on-white cotton linens. This group represents the refined domesticity of the 1940s and 50s, highlighting the transition from purely utilitarian linens to those accented with artisanal hand-embroidery and lace-work.
