3. Millinery tools
A group of millinery tools offered in a single lot, estimate £100-200 at Tennants.
A treasure trove of antique and vintage millinery is to be auctioned in the Costume, Accessories and Textiles Sale at Tennants of Leyburn on November 17. The Milliner’s Workroom was put together over 35 years by a lady in North Yorkshire and comprises hats from the early 20th century, antique and vintage millinery tools, accessories, and supplies including a dazzling array of feathers, ribbons, trims and more.
After a chance finding of the contents of a Parisian milliner’s workshop, which had lain untouched for years, the collector launched a career restoring antique hats. These have since graced numerous film, television and theatre productions as well as becoming part of prestigious museum collections. When a retired Belgian milliner heard of her discovery he kindly offered her the contents of his old workshop, too, for the price of the shipping.
Shown here is a group of millinery tools offered in a single lot estimated at £100-150. View this group of millinery tools via thesaleroom.com.
