Vintage Victorian felted wool skirt in deep green with a velvet hem embroidered in red florals and white decorative stitching. Constructed with a cotton waistband (now weakened) and designed with ample volume through the hips, this piece reflects the everyday yet ornamental craftsmanship of the late 19th century. Condition Very good antique condition. Skirt fabric is sturdy and wearable; waistband cotton is shattering and may require reinforcement or alteration (possibly once designed with a drawstring). Clean overall with no major holes; embroidery remains vivid. Provenance Note Embroidered wool skirts of this type were common in European and American wardrobes of the Victorian period, combining warmth, durability, and decoration. The floral machine embroidery and velvet hem indicate a garment intended for both practical winter wear and modest ornamentation. Today, such examples are sought after for costuming, museum collections, and textile display. Style Aesthetics ? Victorian everyday wear ? utilitarian wool with decorative hem ?
