Welsh Vernacular Antiques

Description

We are delighted to offer this rare and special collection of beautiful hand made Eisteddfod purses and ribbons. Dating from the 1920’s with one ribbon from Cross Hands in Carmarthenshire dated 1927 this beautiful collection would look amazing mounted and framed.
In south west wales there was a tradition of giving purses to young ladies in which contained prize money or sometimes a silver medal for their achievements at local Eisteddfodau. Several are made from silk, the ribbons of which show age related signs of wear and fragility.
The colours are nice and each purse is extremely charming. Overall a truly lovely and important piece of history and a real conversation piece.
