Beautiful Rare Twenties French Lingerie Lace - Example 9
£7.00
I have acquired a small collection of French lingerie lace from the 1920's possibly early 30's that was found all together in an old box that was originally from (what I assume) was the original atelier.
A fine delicate insert with a netted ground with the design appliquéd in a fine silk chiffon. Each section of the design has been edged in a couched silk thread. Exquisite. This lace style tended to be produced in more 'café au lait' tones which was very fashionable for this period. Think a milky coffee with a hint of rose....
Such a beautiful rare find.
This particular piece is a motif. Just wonderful.
Measures approx 6.5cm x 9cm at the widest and longest point when laid flat.
The tone of 'cafe' is a little deeper than shown in the photographs.
