Alençon or Argentan lappets, late 18th, early 19th c
27.5" (69.85cm) long, top 4.5" (11.43cm), bottom 3" (7.62cm) measured 26" (66.04cm) from the top, then rounding off. Two long Alençon lappets with brides tortillée. The fineness of the threads gives these a very light feeling. This is emphasized by the thin floral design with minimal fillings along the edges. Probably late 18th c.
