Antique Victorian Lace Collar Princesse Tape Lace
This is an early 19th century antique Victorian handmade large Princesse Tape lace collar with a stand up collar. This is a treasure of early 19th century fashionable wearable lace accessory. The piece was most likely taken off a garment decades ago.
Still retaining its hook and loop closure at back. Collar is adorned with net inserts background with raised embroidered designs.
The design is busy, but still is graceful. This is a rare old lace to find. A great piece of lace for dressmakers to use on wedding dresses or clothing to give a romantic Victorian look with the addition of this lace.
Measures 28" long side to side, on both sides of stand up order collar, 16" wide front to back, 6" deep at center below stand up collar. 2-1/2" stand up collar.
Condition is very good with no broken brides, no rips, no repairs and the material is strong and sturdy and ready for any project. I have not laundered this collar. Collar could use a soaking to refresh.
Would look lovely basted on a velvet dress, framed, or simply, to add to your lace collection. Use this lace in sewing or craft projects. Add some to clothing to give a fresh new look. Wonderful for little girl clothes or doll clothes. Can be gathered or used flat. Beautiful quality collar.
