Excellent condition. The beautiful ivory collar is machine made lace with aging in cotton and very pretty hand-applied cotton braided decoration around the neck. The collar goes up around the neck in Victorian fashion and is finished with gathered crocheted lace ruffles. The ivory gloves are entirely crocheted, and end with a lovely more complicated retailer design around the wrist. They crochet is flexible but I have not attempted to try them on.
We discovered these gloves and collar in Maryland along with a ladies parasol, American made victorian boots (and an exquisite blue silk walking outfit circa 1870s.)
