Briggs Court embroidery silk – Shade no. – 1569 c.1930s
Ref:225778
Beautiful shiny two twisted stranded embroidery silk hank.
Very little is written about these old silks and the best way to date them is from old needlecraft magazines. I found these silks advertised in an old Needlewoman and needlecraft magazine dated in the first year of WW11. They may be possibly earlier.
In good condition still with the label.
I have two greens both labelled shade no. 1569 – this is the darker green of the two.
