Can someone advise? I am not quite sure what that is on the father's (my Grandfather x 2) left lapel?  Is it some kind of  Boutonniere/corsage?

Thank you Polldoll, I really  like them :)  You have preserved his boutonniere (I think that is what it is called) the corsage type thing on the father's lapel, it's missing in quite a few of the restorations. I didn't like to mention it as it sounded picky  ;D

Hi Chrissyan... I'm not really sure  if it is a  corsage ... I left it in as I thought on close inspection it may be a silk hankerchief in his top pocket  as he looks rather  dapper ....and no one else is wearing  what could be construed as  flowers at a wedding ... Of course I could be completely wrong  ... ;)

Now you have got me thinking, perhaps it was a silk handkerchief  :) Boutonnieres I understand were worn often, not just for weddings :)
