Regency Era Ruffled Sleeve Top

When we say this piece is rare… well. We really mean it.
A bit of a mystery to solve initially, but to the best of our ability we’ve identified this piece to likely be from sometime in the Regency—Georgian era timeframe.
It has remarkable details and we only wish we had come across it sooner in its lifetime before the bottom half was cut.
Nevertheless, these will likely be the sleeves that we dream about for the rest of lives…
Someone should reproduce these.
Intricate covered buttons all original and in tact with vertical pleated ruffles all along the sleeves.
