Belgian needlelace doily

10-1/4" diameter
A little beige and minor soiling, but overall very good condition.

Contains Point de Gaze ground, also 1-1/2 twist single overcast return mesh on the border. Also overlapping ring rows. All Belgian characteristics. Excellent ombré work. Perhaps Zele?
Design is very elegant, although the cordonnets might have been more shaped, pushing it into the Point Colbert style.
