This was posted to another list I am on... An upcoming auction of 17th-20th century clothing, textiles, hats, laces, fans, etc. Lots of yummy things (and I wish there were more pictures!!). I'm still working my way through the catalog, but one of my favorites so far is a complete man's court costume, down to the stockings, c.1800. There are lots lace and lace-making items, and lots of fans.
