Antique Velvet Jabot French 18th 19th Century Charles X Louis XVI Embroidered

  

This is an antique velvet Jabot and pin circa 1780. A Jabot is a piece of clothing used as an accessory for decoration around the neck, with frills cascading down the throat. The style of the pin and the embroidery dates this piece.

I think the pin reflects the French hat of the time. The embroidery is similar to that on French velvet frock coats of the French court. This piece was sourced in France. It is hand sewn with silk and metallic thread. One tassel is missing, there is a little hole at the neck and the metallic thread has lost its shimmer. The pin is bent and tarnished.
