<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 27582, member: 51"]Hi, here are some additional photos. I'm really bad with ID-ing fabrics, perhaps the inside is not silk now that I look at it. But the whole thing still looks older to my eye. Those little rings are metal sort of crocheted (?). I feel like I've seen something similar in an old sewing kit my mother used to have, maybe rings for curtains? </p><p><br /></p><p>The colors are coming out a bit brighter in the photo for some reason, esp. the stitching. The drawstring and ring color seems pretty accurate. Could that part have been added later? As I see the inside there is a stitch all the way around (where my finger is pointing), maybe this was originally for some kind of internal drawstring, then they changed it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the photos:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]6842[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6844[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
