B1107 - SOLD

This is a gorgeous antique French ostrich feather boa dating from about 1890. It is in excellent condition, is very wearable and extemely glamourous.

The feathers are full and plumptious and are a delicious corally / rust colour. At each end of the boa is a gorgeous tassel of silk ribbons in a beautiful soft sage green. The colour combination is sublime.

At the top of each tassel are 2 wooden beads. The uppermost bead is covered in silk thread  and the lower bead is covered with the silk ribbons which are knotted to form a mesh before they cascade down as the tassel.

The tassels are also plumptious. The silk on one of the upper beads has a little wear but this does not detract.

The total length of the boa including the tassels is approx. 172 cms (5 ft 7.75 inches)
The tassels are each approx. 37 cms (14.5 inches) long.

This gorgeous boa is from a carefully selected collection of fabulous antique French textiles, accessories & decorative pieces at 'La Belle Étoffe'.
