| Handmade Argentan needle lace collar circa late quarter of the 1700s. A museum de-accession, this collar measures 13.5 across the top, 43 inches across the bottom and 5.25 inches deep, this did not start out life as a collar but has been re-made into a collar, Argentan lace was so precious that it was often recycled into other laces. The mesh is hand made using tiny little buttonhole stitches that are so small its difficult to see the threads even with 10x magnification, as my camera has better magnification, I got a close-up so the tiny stitches can be seen. The design elements are floral with dainty flowers filled with minute filling stitches of various designs edges with hundreds of teensy little picots. The lace is in good condition, I saw 3 repairs and as mentioned earlier, the lace is pieced (4 pieces) to make the collar but it is all the same type of lace. his lace is extremely collectible and very hard to find in any condition! |
