Lille handkerchief

15.75" square, lace 4.5" deep
Excellent condition. Handkerchief and a few other creases. Might try pressing the center cloth out.

Probably a French Lille piece. See Hannover "Tønderske Kniplinger", there's no exact match (looking especially at the outer corner buds), but some are similar. Other guess are Bucks, or something unknown. Whatever, it is a beautiful technique.

Ex. coll. Natalie Lehrman, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
