Empire border, bobbinlace applique on droschel

8 cm x 124 cm
Occasional pinhole, a few light brown stains. Some motifs creased along bottom. Light vertical fold marks. Overall exceptional condition.

Exceptional border of Brussels applique on droschel net. This is some of the finest droschel net I've ever seen. Elegant design, probably ~1830. Delicate, simple needle-made fillings. Secured both ends, not sure if this is original.

From a collection of family owned lace, from an estate clearance.
