ROYAL Lace Handkerchief with a coat of arms from Austria-Tuscany, ca. 1860

Rare decorative handkerchief with one coat of arms: Austria-Tuscany. The coats of arms belong to Karl Salvador of Austria-Tuscany (* April 30, 1839 in Florence; † January 18, 1892 in Vienna), Archduke of Austria and Prince of Tuscany. He married in Rome on September 19, 1861 Maria Immaculata Clementina (* April 14, 1844 in Naples; † February 18, 1899 in Vienna), born Princess of Bourbon-Sicily. The handkerchief that belonged to the father of Maria Immaculata of Württemberg also dates from this time. Excellently preserved. Very, very rare to find.

Handkerchiefs of this kind cost a small fortune even back then. This handkerchief is made of cotton batiste with bobbin lace trim on the edge. The photograph is not included. It can be supplied as a copy if you are interested.
