Just a beautiful vintage handkerchief in excellent vintage condition. This lovely ladies round hankie has a huge purple orchid in the center tied with frilly pink bows and ribbons. The orchid is nestled among yellow forget me not flowers and little white lily of the valley with lavender shading. The hankie’s scalloped edge is trimmed with a faux ruffled design. Really cute and lots of nice detailing. Handkerchief measures about 13" across, striking to frame!

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."

Nanalulus hankies always come with a C1880 copy of "Handkerchief Flirtations".  Be sure to see our entire collection of hankies both vintage and new, including beautiful monograms, wedding, embroidered and lace hankies.
