Vintage Embroidered Silk Ribbon Trim 4 YDS 1 and similar items

This is a gorgeous and rare length of antique silk embroidered ribbon trim. 4 YARDS. 1 3/8" wide. My mom purchased it at a Paris flea market as a memento. Silk - I did a burn test on a tiny snippet and it is a natural fiber. Def feels and looks like silk. Flower and berry design, with narrow geometric border. I see a William Morris influence, so I could possibly date to the Arts and Crafts Movement / late 1800s / Early 1900s. The embroidery is muted purple, dusty pink, green, muted gold on black. Excellent condition overall, with one disclosure: Stain/discoloration on one area - about 3" long, and about 17" from one end. Then, there are a couple of nearby subtle color variations, but not obvious. PLEASE SEE LAST 2 PHOTOS. Otherwise, perfectly lovely. From a smoke-free home. Vintage Embroidered Silk Ribbon Trim 4 YDS 1 3/8" wide Floral Antique from Paris Description This is a gorgeous and rare length of antique silk embroidered ribbon trim. 4 YARDS length. 1 3/8" wide. My mom purchased it at a Paris flea market as a memento, and then could never bring herself to use/cut it. I believe it is silk - I did a burn test on a tiny snippet and it is a natural fiber. Def feels and looks like silk. Flower and berry design, with narrow geometric border on one side. It seems to me that it has William Morris influence, so I could possibly date to the Arts and Crafts Movement / late 1800s / Early 1900s. This is my best guess. The embroidery is muted purple, dusty pink, green, muted gold on black. Just a beautiful and very rare piece. Excellent condition overall, with one disclosure: There is a stain/discoloration on one area - about 3" long, and about 17" from one end. Then, there are a couple of subtle color variations not far from that, but not very obvious. PLEASE SEE LAST TWO PHOTOS. I didn't notice until I was ironing this piece to photograph it. I would say it is perfectly usable as is - and I am very picky, but then i do embrace trivial flaws on fine antique items. Otherwise, perfectly lovely. From a smoke-free home.
