Stock
Unknown
ca. 1830 · silk, metal · Costume Institute
This is a good example of a stock, the standard neckwear for men in the early 19th century, to be worn over the high stand collar of the shirt. A bow would complete the look. It is rare for the original box to survive and indicates that the stock was valuable to the owner.
