the look

a pair of antique white cotton open-leg drawers from the victorian era, cut with a split crotch and no seam joining the front and back legs, the standard construction before closed styles took over in the early 1900s. the waist gathers into a drawstring tie, and each hem carries a fine bobbin lace trim in a geometric diamond pattern. a small woven tape at the waistband carries a red laundry mark, a numbered tape sewn into household linens to track them through the wash, a small practical trace of how these pieces were once kept and cared for.

please note: one small rust-colored age spot near a side seam, noted for full transparency; otherwise clean.

details

era: antique | pre-1920s
designer: unbranded
origin: unknown
design: open-leg drawers with a drawstring waist tie and gathered waistband pleating, no seam joining the front and back legs. each hem finished with a fine bobbin lace trim in a geometric diamond pattern. a small woven tape at the waistband carries a red laundry mark, a personalization detail rather than a maker's mark. materials and percentages: no content tag present, expected for a piece this age; reads as a lightweight plain-weave cotton based on the hand and weave
condition: very good: completely wearable, with one small rust-colored age spot near a side seam. no holes, tears, or other staining seen
size & fit: no size tag; the drawstring waist and open-leg construction give it real range. best modern fit estimate is a flexible fit across roughly a 26-34 in waist depending how the tie is set
flat measurements: waist 17 in flat, length 27 in
