Sleeves with Youghal cuffs

Length including sleeves, 13". Lace width 5.5", circumference 10" top, 11" bottom. 
Lace in very good condition. Sleeves a bit wrinkled. Overall creasing. General age yellowing. Look unused.        

Sleeves with Youghal lace cuffs - unusual to find a complet set in such good condition, they look unused.
No sign of a seam in the lace. Design is roughly symmetric around a center stylized flower in the lace. See Youghal_cuffs_1 for a discussion of the engrelure. Cloth looks like   a shear linen gathered around the cuffs and hemmed at the top. 
Cuffs are similar in design to Youghal_cuffs_1.
