Victorian Men's Thistle Roller Print Cotton Waistcoat Vest. |
This antique Victorian era men's thistle roller print cotton waistcoat vest dates from 1850. It is hand stitched and made of an off white ecru color cotton pique textured fabric, with a monochrome roller printed design with yellow thistles done in a deliberate imitation of copperplate printing. The thistle was a symbol of nobility. This dashing dandy gentlemen's early waistcoat vest has a fold over lapel collar, two bottom and one top slit pocket and 3 glass star buttons for closure on the bottom front (one is missing). There is a linen fabric backing, with an adjustable buckle strap on back. The vest measures 20 inches long, with a 36 inch waist and 38 inch chest. It is in as-is fair condition and has not been cleaned. There are several small faint age spots, as well as staining and small holes on the backing (see close-up). The back collar has some fraying. This is truly a wonderful early Victorian vest and textile print. $150 |
