Lyndhurst Collection Lots 2006-2030
'Our mother, Margaret Smith (who died in 2019 aged 90), was the owner and curator of the marvellous “Lyndhurst Collection” an extensive assortment of period authentic clothing named after her house in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
Her love of fashion and costume began when she was a child. Her father was a tailor and made all her clothes using lovely patterns and fabrics. In 1946 when she was 17, she trained at Bradford Civic Theatre School in producing and directing for the stage. This expanded her love of costume. Later, as a schoolteacher, she produced school plays, as well as much larger and grander productions with amateur dramatic societies and other organisations. This required the creation and collection of many stage and vintage costumes.
In May 1986 she began giving an illustrated talk entitled “An Outline of Fashion for Women since 1300 AD”, Margaret finished giving talks in 2006 having travelled the length and breadth of Lancashire and beyond. A very popular presentation at this time was titled “40 years of Fashion and Change” and it was brought to life by 6 models who wore items from the collection dating from 1900 to 1937.
One of her most thought-provoking talks was entitled “The Emancipation of Women through Changes in Underwear”. The addition of a gusset to ladies’ drawers proved to be a very significant change for women!
One of the wonderful consequences of her very successful talks was that many ladies who saw them donated their cherished family fashion items, so that they could be enjoyed and appreciated again more widely. When she died, Mum left an extraordinary collection of antique, vintage and stage costumes which she had cherished, leant out and used for many occasions which are being sold in the following 25 lots'.
