Pair of Antique German Socks (#9)

Included among John Derian's trove of vintage and antique goods is this pair of antique German socks dating to around 1900. This brown stockings pair features a dense, three-dimensional "Noppenstrick" (or bobble) texture throughout the leg with a ribbed cuff for a secure fit. This knit design was meant to trap air for maximum insulation during the cold winter months. The design is finished with a contrasting rust-colored reinforced toe...
