This rare antique Edwardian Titanic era Au Royal Madrid lilac brocade corset dates from 1912. It is made of a lilac colored bow patterned brocade fabric, with white lace trim edging around the top woven through with the original lilac silk ribbon. This lovely longline style corset has a busk hook front laced closure and steel boned stays inside. The busk also has an ornate pointed busk hook sewn on top of the material used to anchor the waistbands of petticoats. It is stamped inside "Au Royal Corset Madrid" model number T-56 and E/3. The original corset string laces for lacing up the back are missing. The corset measures 21 inches long, with a 30 inch adjustable bust. It is in excellent wearable condition, with only slight fraying of the silk ribbon trim, the lace trim is a bit dingy and there is a tiny faint age spot on the front (see bottom photo for close-up). This beautiful corset is a wonderful piece of wearable Edwardiana art and a rare find.
