Antique (1912) Friendship Textile // Signature Hankerchief.
Featuring names embroidered in red thread arranged around a central year mark of 1912. These textiles were popular community projects in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were typically made to mark a specific event like a wedding, a milestone, a departure, or as a fundraiser for a church or Civic group. Decorative badge in the center prominently displays the year 1912. Many of the family names visible - such as Landis, Burkholder, Martin, Ebersole, and Longenecker - are historically common within Mennonite, Amish, or Pennsylvania Dutch communities.
Some age discoloration present. Edges are rough and show fraying and wear. Found in as-is condition in Pennsylvania. Uset of red thread on a plain white or cream fabric is a classic needlework style known as “Redwork,” which peaked in popularity around the early 1900s. Antique Embroidery. Historical Fragment. Minor age discoloration and fraying along the edges. The edges - delicate, lightweight weave of the fabric and the square proportion strongly mirror an autographed keepsake or commemorative token from that period.
Measurements : 20” x 19.75”
Price Includes Shipping.
