This is a pristine, vintage 1950s/1960s hand-knit Cowichan-style cardigan sweater featuring the iconic Mary Maxim "Rambling Rose" pattern. Crafted from a heavy, chunky virgin wool blend, it showcases vibrant crimson red and forest green floral columns against a clean oatmeal-cream baseline. The sweater is in rare, like-new condition with absolutely no pilling, moth damage, or stains, and it features a classic folded shawl collar, front pockets, and an added top loop-and-button closure. It comes outfitted with its original heavy brass Coats & Clark separating zipper, which glides smoothly along perfectly intact tape. This museum-quality, mid-century heritage piece is ready to wear or display.

Has a Coats and Clark zipper pull hardware, a loop closure on the top with original button.
