Description
This Drop Point Sash serves as a fitting accessory to complete a variety of period ensembles. The sash is fashioned from soft black velvet, cut into a pointed belt that tapers gradually at the ends. At the back, a matching satin tie allows the wearer to secure it with a tidy bow, providing both practicality and a touch of refinement. Measuring 74 inches in length, it offers ample material to wrap comfortably around the waist or hips, reflecting common historical dress practices.
In times past, sashes like this were more than mere decoration; they held practical value, often used to carry small tools or weapons within easy reach. The “drop point” style, familiar to bladesmiths, describes a design where the spine of the blade slopes gently downward to the tip, creating a strong and controllable point,an echo of how this sash tapers smoothly to a refined end.
