Italian Flat Point Needlelace border

2" x 172"
Very good condition. Cut both ends with signs of small repairs. A few localized spots of brown discoloration.
Linen: 2 ply S, single Z. Average 0.161mm Standard Deviation 0.020mm. The upper border trace can be seen and is about 0.40mm in diameter.

The flat motifs are well designed, delicately worked, and the border and picots quite elaborate. This could be an Italian piece. The repeat is about 22" long, and although it is a repeat, the individual motifs change slightly.
