An antique, slightly oval doily, delicate and beautiful, patchwork of around 10 pieces, featuring a central, linear-woven petit doily from Bruges, the water city of Belgium, along with mesopunto lace of clematis and tulips, and point de rose from Brussels lace. It is antique Normandy lace. [Center] A beautiful bobbin lace with a delicate charm, where linear flowers woven with very fine thread float within an octagonal (8-petal) flower. The soft curves, as if drawn with a Spirograph, create a lacy and cool geometric pattern. Although almost invisible, the edge frill lace may be crochet. It is woven with extremely fine, exquisite thread, and is very smooth. [Wide-rimmed flower embroidery section] ① Four clematis flowers ② One large tulip I imagine this is a mesopunto technique from the 1700s-1800s. It is a rare technique of hand-embroidering a very dense mesh within linen tape. It is wonderful with its remarkable precision. ③ Point de rose as seen from the side ④ Three blueberries in a row, or a motif that looks like a Western chrysanthemum. Motifs that also look like rosebuds, flowers, and leaves nearby. ⑤ Delicate rose leaf embroidery with raised veins Asterisks ✵ in the center of the flowers Delicate and cool splashes of water, ice, and crystal-like brilliance of the bridges ✵ between the flowers. A slightly darker, elegant and gentle ivory beige tone, as if it contains a hint of skin color. The sepia tones of time are also beautiful. The fabric is also extremely thin and sheer. It looks like exquisite lawn and has a very crisp feel. I feel that it took a considerable amount of time to complete. The following measurements are amateur measurements of handicrafts, so please forgive any errors. 27 cm x 25 cm About 5g The leaf motifs and threads that have become sepia tones, with varying shades of color, are especially visible on the inner diameter side of the rim. Also, there are several places that I feel are repairs of thread unraveling. For those who appreciate the antique tone and do not mind the aging process. Also, please forgive any small imperfections.
