A gorgeous and very long flounce of handmade Point de Rose needle lace in the style of Venetian Gros Point.
It has a dense design of scrolling stems and exotic flower heads, raised work and a good variety of filling stitches and ornamented brides covered in button hole stitch. This contains a HUGE amount of work.
Condition is very good - there are a few broken brides which need a couple of stitches each to re-secure - nothing major.
Antique white in colour with a tiny rust type mark near one end.
Dates from the 19th century.
Measures approx. 394cm x 19cm (154 1/2" x 7 1/2") - 4 yards 10" long.
Price - £250.00
