These are the most beautiful antique hand painted silk and kid leather braces (or suspenders). Delicate, spidery writing on the back of the silk necessitated the use of a mirror to reflect the script.I sewed the braces onto a support of fine, buttery Irish linen and fashioned a simple frame, custom painted to match the rich whites of the silk then waxed and polished to a rich sheen.
