Large Exquisite and extremely rare! 

This early European needle lace collar was a cornerstone piece of an early lace collection.  

The scale is incredibly tiny and one must view this handmade needle lace under magnification to truly appreciate the workmanship.  It's simply mind boggling.  

Originally identified as Point de Neige lace, with 3 dimensional layered tiny picots like tiny snowflake crystals; it's early Venetian.

Extremely hard to date this with accuracy.  The scale and type of lace suggests 17th century.  There is a question over the style of the collar in reference to suggest it may have been fashioned into a collar in a later period. 

Please see Santina Levey's A Lace History for reference to this type and scale of lace. 

The condition is near excellent.  It has been mounted on velvet.  There is overall patina and a few tiny discreet breaks.  

This is a museum quality piece that simply cannot be replicated today and an important example of early lace making.  For the advanced collector. 

Satisfaction guaranteed.  Overseas shipping is possible, but will require a signed service.  A very, very special piece.  

Overall width as mounted 21" overall height is 17"  Lace is approximately 6-1/2" at widest point.  

  • Condition: Please see full description for details. This is in excellent overall condition, with a few minor breaks and overall patina
  • Material: Lace
