Gilberte Garros, sister of French war aviator and French Open namesake Roland Garros.* Spanish mantilla of black silk net with embroidered flowers in varying shades of pink, violet, lime green, gold and aqua. Scalloped edge with 13” black silk fringe around entire perimeter. fabric: silk noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: none condition: excellent measurements: 35” x 40” not including 13” fringe label: no label present
