God Bless Them! An Early 18th Century Stomacher for £30-£50 * 23 June Auction
It is a terrible picture, it is all there is - but it was enough to have me fall off my seat in peals of laughter, if only you could have heard. I was just taking a break with a pot of tea and had a look to see what was new in the auction rooms, and blow me down, this popped up on my screen. It is described as A FRAMED TRIANGULAR PANEL OF FLORAL EMBROIDERY and two three section PIECES, in a glazed frame. Estimates: £30 to £50. Well someone needs to get their skates on because this is for auction tomorrow by Diamond Mills and Co in Felixstowe, Suffolk - the lot number is 381.

Wow! Do they really not know what they have? What a wonderful find for someone who knows a thing or two about historical fashion. Have you tipped off your favorite museums?
