Material:  Watered Moire Silk

Size:  Length ~ 1 yard = 36 inches,  Width ~ 6 & 1/4 inches

Quantity:  1

A very nice, long length of unused antique pink silk ribbon, featuring an attractive square and linear pattern detail, dating to the latter 19th or early 20th century.

Wide ribbon such as this example were often used in Victorian and Edwardian periods as sash belts, scarves and other adornments.

The ribbon is in very nice antique estate condition, with no signs of moisture stains, rust, etc.  Apx 6 inches from one end there is a very tiny mark, at an edge, shown in the last image above.  I believe this is just minor storage related soil that would likely remove with spot clean /launder.  Held to the light I can see a few tiny pin holes near one edge.  The ribbon appears strong and stable and is one continuous length.  Color remains rich and vibrant, with no fading.  The first image was taken in direct light, so color appears slightly lighter than actual.  Second and third images more accurately reflect the rich pink color.
I did a burn test on a small piece of this fabric and it is positively natural silk, NOT a synthetic!

This fine long, wide silk ribbon would make a high quality addition to an antique textile, ribbon or vintage clothes collection.
