Stomacher

British

Not on view

This is a beautifully preserved example of an early stomacher with all the hallmarks of exquisite early English floral embroidery. The stomacher was worn as a central bodice piece with open robes of the 18th century. The fact that the lace remains intact after nearly 300 years makes this a significant piece, retaining a great deal of its original integrity.
