http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Flem07.html A deep bertha collar formed from small scale Flemish bobbin lace in the candelabra style with a round Flemish ground. It has been edged with a another piece of Flemish lace with a design of a meandering ribbon, again with the round Flemish ground. The collar has been backed with a machine made net for strength. An interesting example for the collector of early lace. Condition is fairly good for its age; there are a couple of areas where the seams joining the lace have come unstitched, and there are quite a number of breaks in the mesh which are difficult to spot because of the backing. Late 17th / early 18th century Flemish lace; the collar as it is now was probably assembled during the mid 19th century. Cream coloured with some marks - this piece has not been laundered recently. Measures approx. 84cm (33") along inside neck edge with a maximum lace depth of 21.5cm (8 1/2").
