http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/Mec37.html An exquisite flounce of handmade Mechlin bobbin lace. The design consists of a stylized floral sprig at the scalloped hem with seven alternating rows of point d'esprit above. There has been a decorative tape applied to the top. Condition is very good with a few expertly done small repairs and two almost invisible joins (please see last image). Colour - cream with some faint marks; I have not cleaned this piece. The lace dates from the late 18th / early 19th century. Measures approx. 252cm x 7.5cm (99" x 3").
