This pair of knee-high stockings, dating from the late 17th century, exemplifies the textile artistry of the period. The socks, crafted from a light brown wool, reveal the meticulous attention to detail typical of the time. They feature a ribbed cuff, a decorative seam running from the cuff to the heel, and are indicative of the evolving fashion trends of the era. Despite their age and evident wear, they offer a unique glimpse into the everyday lives of people during this period.
