I have 2 pre 1850 English farmers smocks,both hand made by my Grandmother,and Great Grandmother,both are reversible linen items with extensive excuisite smocking and matching original mother of pearl buttons.1 is in superb original condition and has been examined in detail by The museum of English Rural Life at Reading University and they are of the opinion that it is one of the finest they have seen and that it is very unlikely that there will be many others (or any)of this quality outside of museums or private collection.       The other is very similar but was obiously used and has some wear to collar and cuffs and also has some marks which could be could probably be removed but i would prefer not to try . Both were made at The Old Farm ,Long Sutton, North Hampshire, England.If they are of interest please email me and i will furbish you any details or photographs you may require .Many thanks for your interest.
