Antique French Ribbonwork Rose Applique | Original American Sales Card flower decoration handpainted in colors of buttercreamStill on its original card and dating to around 1920 1930, here's a vintage floral applique floral embellishment ribbon flower that would have been applied to any manner of items, including "garters and lingerie". The French made floral is still stitched to the card but I assume the piece is entirely hand made using only thread in the making. The center rose is of a silky satin while the leaves are ruffled edge French ombre rayon acetate. Card
