Antique French Ribbonwork Wreath Garland Applique Decoration

Found as you see with the center crinoline still intact, may I offer this floral garland applique made in France during the Art Deco (1920s/1930s) period. In a circular shape, the French ombre ribbon wreath of flowers features a pink bow at the bottom. I believe this bit of ribbonwork would have been on a lingerie or hanky holder; okay, maybe a decoration on a satin chemise or slip. Colors include pink, yellow, pale blue and olive green. Definite patina of age to the entire decoration.

Entirely hand sewn with a crinoline backing. To attach to your favorite piece, either sew on or add a pin to the back - this way, the piece can be detached before your item is cleaned. The ribbon wreath is quite secure and is in no danger of falling apart. Uses? A dolls hat or dress, a blazer lapel, a dress, a lampshade .... the ideas are endless. So hard to find, a true vintage piece of French ribbon artistry.
