This is a stunning 1950s hand-knitted jumper in a gorgeous deep raspberry red shade.
Featuring an intricate all-over textured diamond pattern, a high ribbed neckline, short sleeves and a beautifully fitted waist with a wide ribbed waistband, creating that wonderfully feminine silhouette so characteristic of 1950s knitwear.
The sweater also features a metal zipper at the back of the neck, a lovely practical detail that allows the close-fitting collar to sit neatly.
Beautifully crafted, with a substantial yet soft knitted texture, probably in a wool and cotton blend.
A charming and distinctive piece of mid-century knitwear, with wonderful texture, colour and an unmistakable 1950s shape.
