European Ornamental Holiday Stocking

Sweeping red and gold curves, with pale fringe straggling off one side of the cuff.

This is an ornamental holiday stocking. It is embroidered fabric. Holiday textiles such as stockings, ornaments and table linens are often brought out each year and passed down within families. Stocking in pale yellow cloth with broad gilded and brick-red bands that sweep around the foot. The cuff has a gold braided strip and a loose, wispy fringe that trails down over the front. A twisted gold loop rises at the top. It is 4 inches wide and 6 long.

Dramatic pattern, wispy fringe, and a bit of a mess.
