Our superb lace collar from the late 19th or very early 20th century is as detailed in back as in front. Each element of the ecru lace - flowers, grapes, leaves and so forth - was stitched by hand onto fine netting that's a beautiful color match. I'm not expert enough about textiles to be sure the lace elements are also hand-crafted, but feel that's likely, given the design quality of the piece and the loving care it's been given. Acquired at a major antiques fair in Newmarket, near Cambridge in England, the collar is more than 17" wide at the bottom of the front. About 23" long from front corner to back corner, it gives you almost a FOOT of gorgeous lace on each side of your shoulders. A fine hook and thread eye remain at the bottom of the back and another thread eye a few inches above indicates one hook is missing, easily replaced. I've found no other flaws. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |
