Pair of women's stockings of knitted silk, made in Spain, mid 18th century. Pair of women's stockings made from frame knitted green silk with a shield shaped panel of pink knitted silk inserted at the sides and running from the sole seam to mid calf. This is finely embroidered in white green and yellow silk in a design of three elongated diamond green leaves rising from a basket surmounted by two birds facing each other. The design repeats twice more becoming gradually smaller. Above the panel is an embroidery of similar but pink birds facing each other over a pink and white diamond shaped motif. The stockings are unfashioned and shaped very slightly at the toe where they are seamed together. There is a seam on the centre sole and up the back of the stocking. They are just over knee-length and have two green stripes at the welt, as well as a narrow border which is turned over and stitched in white silk. Knitted silk and embroidery.
