Lot Description

Collection of Four 19th Century Black Wool Riding Clothes, 1880-1890


This lot includes four pieces; two bodices, one skirt, and one pair of pants. 

These four riding items were found together. The first bodice and skirt go together as there is a button and button loop at the center back waist on each item. The second bodice and pants appear to be of the same material and have the same buttons. 

The riding hat featured in the images is available in Lot 95.
