Antique Silk Blue Floral Ribbonwork Lingerie Holder

From my personal collection 

This piece is very near and near to my heart

I purchased this piece in approx 2002, it was the first antique textile I had ever purchased. It was from a local antique shop that no longer exists

Has age related wear with some pink discoloration on the reverse

Such a beautiful piece, on the large size for a holder 

approx 17.5 x 10" closed
