Flea Market Item 26-331

A beautiful antique cream lace doily, approximately 18–19 cm across, worked entirely in an intricate floral design. 

The raised, corded outlines and densely buttonholed loops give the piece wonderful texture and suggest a needle-lace technique, likely inspired by Venetian or Irish lace styles. A particularly pretty piece for collecting or incorporating into textile work.

Lovely antique condition with a mellow aged-ivory colour.
