This exquisite cream-toned waist corset dates back to around 1878 and was once part of the collection of an American museum, now released from its holdings. An exceptional example of late Victorian corsetry, it features delicate lace trim along both the top and bottom edges, adding elegance to its structured silhouette.

The original lacing - aged yet intact - offers a rare glimpse into authentic 19th-century craftsmanship. Inside the corset, the markings “19” and “steel boned” are printed, confirming the presence of supportive steel reinforcements typical of high-quality garments from the period.

Exceptionally well-preserved, this corset stands out as a collector’s treasure. Pieces of this kind are increasingly rare on the market, making it a sought-after example of Victorian fashion heritage and structural beauty.
