Description

View Civil War Era Green Silk Dress-Victorian-Crinoline-Bonnet-Antique 1800s-Historic with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The set includes fitted bodice, full skirt with crinoline structure, bonnet, sash, and belt. Authentic mid-19th century women’s ensemble dating to the American Civil War era, discovered in a steamer trunk within an Eastern North Carolina estate alongside period garments. The set includes fitted bodice, full skirt with crinoline structure, bonnet, sash, and belt. During the 1850s–1860s, vivid green textiles were often achieved using mineral-based dyes, including pigments historically associated with arsenic compounds such as Scheele’s Green and Paris Green. The color and period construction of this garment are consistent with those used during the era; however, no laboratory testing has been performed to confirm composition. Likely American-made, circa 1850–1870. Condition: Extensive age-related wear including fabric thinning, staining, structural fragility, and losses. Sold as a display or study piece only. Handle minimally and carefully with gloves; not intended for wear. Category: Antiques › Other Antiques.
