What a beautiful design on this vintage ladies round handkerchief. Gray tulips along with deep red daffodils and one red tulip flow from the center of the hankie tied with a big gray bow. Three rows of smaller flowers border the scalloped edge of the hankie. It’s a lovely color combination. Excellent vintage condition with no damage. Measuring about 14" across the hankie is ready to use, give or display. Wonderful addition to any vintage hankies collection. There was a little shadow when taking photos, colors are nice & bright.
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". This would make a sweet doily too! looking for decorating ideas for vintage hankies? Check below for ideas:
