Mechlin border

3.625" x 70" (9.20cm x 177.8cm)
Excellent condition, looks unused. No discernable damage. Cut both ends.
Mesh thread linen: Hard to tell if this is plied, might be single ply S. Average diameter 0.0619mm Standard Deviation 0.0119mm.
Gimp thread linen: 2 ply S, single Z. ~0.307mm diameter, from a single measurement.

Very light, early 19th c design. The somewhat streaky mesh is a sign of variation in thread diameter, which is some of the finest in the collection. A remarkable survivor.
