Listing description

Antique CDV Seated Woman Dark Silk Dress Holding Book Hoop Skirt Hairnet

This antique CDV captures a poised woman seated for a formal mid-19th-century portrait. She is elegantly dressed in a dark silk dress that drapes over a voluminous hoop skirt, emphasizing the structured fashion of the era. Her hair is neatly secured within a delicate hairnet, a hallmark of period styling, while she remains focused on the small book she is holding.

Collectors of Victorian photography will value this image for its clear depiction of mid-century textile textures and social decorum. It is a quintessential study of a woman in her hoop skirt and silk finery.
