ANTIQUE COLLAR Matching CUFFS Beige Detailed Intricate Needlelace on mesh organza

STYLE: Antique perhaps late 19th Century bobbin lace collar with matching cuffs all lace!

COLOUR & PATTERN: Beige fine needlelace collar with matching cuffs. Very beautiful design and motif - intricate and looks to be all hand-done workmanship but sometimes it's hard to be sure.

Terrific floral motifs outlined in fine threads on mesh and then we have some areas like at the wrist area of the cuffs the back is not mesh but very fine organza or cotton!

The colour is not cream/ecru or ivory but a beige, a skin tone effect! Hard to capture the exact shade so the photos vary....

SIZE APPROXIMATELY:

The COLLAR: Measured lying flat across, tip to tip, at 25 inches; the depth in the centre of the neck to the bottom is 2-3/4 inches at the widest.
THE CUFFS: 7-1/4 inches across the wrist - 5 inches from the wrist to the fingertip.

CONDITION: Very good to excellent pre-owned; a couple of tiny what I think are handling marks but don't see any breaks in the mesh!
---------------------------------------------
Almost all the collars I retailer list are antique and vintage, not new and not reproductions, and have been produced either by hand or machine in the 19th and 20th century. But some which are from the 1940's I make mention of that and do my best to accurately describe these collars with the type of lace and fabric.

Most of the collars are not laundered or dry-cleaned unless I mention that in the listing. Many have been acquired at auctions and often been in box of linens or trunks for many years; therefore there could be handling stains or flaws.

Please read the descriptions closely and look at the many photos zooming in on areas you particularly are interested in seeing clearly.
