The two items will be sold at Hanson Auctioneers, with the nightdress expected to sell for between £4,000 and £6,000, while it is anticipated that the chemise will fetch £3,000 and £5,000.

The 141-year-old garments, which have been authenticated by London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, were given to a maid who served the royal family in the 1800s, the Oxford Mail reports.

The items were then passed down through the family.
