ABOUT THE ITEM

The first thing about buying fabric online is that all monitors distort color. I try to describe colors as best I can, but you may be much more sensitive & see subtle nuances & shades that I do not.
If you are blessed with a discerning eye and if the exact shade is important it is best to buy a swatch or buy from a neighborhood store and not online. You won’t be disappointed & they’ll appreciate the business !

ITEM DESCRIPTION :

So  beautifully delicate & complex antique lace. Given to me by a dear friend who inherited them from her grandmother.

NEVER been used, these sat in a box for all these years, waiting for you !

Nothing beats the look of antique lace ! The patina of age softens the edges, the occasional holes & small tears only show that this is a decades old lace, treasured through generations to wear with pride. Not some bright brash shiny new polyster recreation of yesteryear.

You’ll adore the exquisite patterns in this lace ! Unfortunately I am not cogniscant with antique laces to correctly identify this lace type. Hopefully someone will let me know ! I will describe it to the beat of my abilities.

It looks like a very finely done buttonhole stitch Venise type lace where all the designs are embroidered . They are connected to each other with curvy embroidered bars & little round circles.  There is no netting or backing fabric at all ! This one has a delicate border of loops making a scalloped edge. Each has a gorgeous center flower that is applied on with 2 flowers to give it added dimension. Surrounded by curving swirling designs !  The upper part is done in a similar way.

It almost has a crocheted look but it really looks like buttonhole stitches ! They are still sewn up as cuffs but you could open up the seam & use them flat. They are 1 pair ( 2 pieces ) A soft off white color.

JUST FABULOUS ! 

FABULOUS, FABULOUS, FABULOUS !!!!! 

LENGTH : 10. 5 inches approx.

  WIDTH : 5.5 inches

I try describing colors and fabrics as best I can, but I do understand that there will be times when it is just not right for you. Just email me & let me know that we need to cancel the transaction & refund the fabric price back to you. Not a big deal at all !
