Antique and very beautiful Venetian lace featuring a dog and a person from Burano Island, Venice, Italy. A lace doily using the Point de Venise technique and a blue linen fabric for framing are offered as a set. A dog and a person sitting on a tree stump with a plow leaning against it, amidst flowers and trees. Eyes, nose, mouth, and hands are carefully embroidered. The figure appears to be either a man or a woman. Perhaps a break during farm work...? They are gazing at each other and smiling. A lovely small work with a presence like a painting. Heartwarming and cheerful. White work with a mesh-like openwork pattern finely woven within the outlines. Trees, leaves (stems and flowers?), tree stumps, people, dogs, and the ground... Detailed expression through openwork. Bridges that span the space/air, like the mesh of a fisherman's net. Delicately arranged leaves ∞ and picot lace. Papillons...butterflies ∞ seem to be flying. Lacy figures & scenery motifs, meticulously woven one stitch at a time with linen thread using only a needle. A center in a deep ivory/cream beige. Compared to other lace techniques, it has strength and durability. The surrounding scalloped bobbin lace is in the Bruges style, with a slightly darker light patina tone. Woven softly with very fine thread, it is light, delicate, and elegant. Please forgive the following errors due to amateur measurements. Diameter: Approximately 21.2 cm Center: Approximately 11 cm Weight: Approximately 6g ※ The blue linen fabric is a piece of unused fabric. Upon close inspection, Only the edge of one scallop, diagonally below the dog's leg, has aged and discolored to a light brown/brownish hue, but it is hardly noticeable and in very beautiful condition. Please forgive any minor imperfections due to this handmade work's age. The delicacy, texture, and warmth unique to handcraftsmanship. For tables, chests. Framing in a double-glass frame or with fabric as a background will make the intricate woven patterns stand out clearly and look beautiful, enhancing the artistic quality. I hope you enjoy using it.
