You will love this pretty vintage ladies handkerchief. Gorgeous sprays of purple violets, and dainty lily of the valley flowers frame the hankie. Each little spray is tied with a lavender / purple bow and flowing ribbons which all tie together. The deep scalloped edge is trimmed with a purple hand rolled hem. In Victorian times violets stood for faithfulness and lily of the valley for purity and return to happiness, making this a perfect wedding day handkerchief. A beauty for any hankies collector.

Really unusual and pretty design on this vintage ladies handkerchief. I love the way the ribbons flow from the bows in the center of the hankie. The ribbons and bows are done in a white on white design. The hankie’s border is full of lovely red Christmas poinsettia flowers, nestled among their greenery. Hankie measures about 13" across and has a scalloped edge. Excellent vintage condition with no damage. Fun addition to any vintage hankies collection, nice to display over the holiday season.
Fun vintage round Christmas handkerchief! According to the book Collecting Handkerchiefs,"perhaps the most unusual type of handkerchief is the round. Produced briefly in the 1940’s and into the 1950’s, the shape wasn’t very popular at the time. It is however, popular with present-day collectors who love to find these uniquely shaped hankies." Pretty red poinsettia flowers circle the hankie’s white center. Hankie measures about 12" across and has a red scalloped edge. Gently used vintage condition with no damage. @ nanaluluslinensandhandkerchiefs.com
