Queen Victoria personally owned and worn silk stockings, monogrammed with a ''VR'' (Victoria Regina) and crested with regal crown. Each stocking is numbered 14, as a number system was in place so the Royal would wear her undergarments in rotation. Stockings, originally from the Queen's Balmoral Castle in Scotland, are from the estate of Christina Symon, one of the Queen's dear friends. Black socks with ivory top measure 9'' across the foot and 31'' in length. Some dirtying and wear to bottom of feet, most likely from age. Else very good condition for such an unique item.
