Another equally pretty floral ribbon from the Victorian  Edwardian 1920's, as the yellow floral ribbon above.  This silk taffeta ribbon has solid pink stripes in a satin finish.  Again, it is unused condition.

This is just an incredibly gorgeous ribbon from the Late Victorian - early 1900's era. The ribbon is a silk satin with almost a "brushed" surface. An elegant black background with roses in various colors covering almost the entire width and length.

 An antique silk taffeta ribbon from the Victorian period.  This geometric ribbon is earlier than the printed floral ribbons above.  May have been suitable for trimming millinery hat or bonnets.  This ribbon is in FABULOUS condition.
