From a recent estate sale in New York, you will just love this vintage ladies handkerchief. I personally think this is one of those handkerchiefs that looks better in person than photos can show! The colors are just so appealing with the red shaded roses and rosebuds on the pretty lemon yellow. The rose vines make a window pane look and the center 4 panes are white. The border is the pretty yellow. Mixed with the lovely roses are small white daisies. The greenery adds the perfect contrast to color. A wonderful vintage hankie in excellent condition with no damage. Appears to have been unused. Hankie measures about 14"" square and has a rather pointed scalloped edge. This hanky would be a perfect gift for a friend.
