Antique Irish, Scottish, or British Very intricate antique Irish crochet ...a crocheted lace collar This is a collar for young ladies and children, crocheted with exceptionally firm and high-quality linen thread into three or four-layered, three-dimensional multi-layered petals. The design incorporates motifs of five lovely wildflowers and leaves and stems, such as large pansies/violets, small viola tricolor, and roses and daisies. The small buttons are also cute; one is glossy and looks like milk glass. The other two have a sheen, possibly shell buttons. The thread's appeal is also outstanding. It's a very firm, high-quality linen thread that is no longer available. It has a pleasant crispness and may also contain a little cotton or silk. It's quite fine for crochet thread and the work is very densely crocheted. The thread color is also attractive. It's a creamy, off-white ecru, an antique-like ivory. It has a strong firmness, suppleness, smoothness, and a pleasant crisp feel. The following measurements are amateur measurements of an old handmade item, so please forgive any errors. Inner diameter: approx. 32.5 cm Outer diameter: approx. 36 cm Width: approx. 5.8-6.2 cm Approx. 7.5g It has been home-cleaned and is in a clean condition. The thread on one edge appears to have slightly discolored, but I personally don't mind. Please refer to the image placed on a white quilt, and please forgive any other minor imperfections. It can be used as a collar decoration for baby's first shrine visit, children's birthdays, baptismal gowns, or for antique bisque dolls, shawls, capes, etc. For adult women, it is suitable for those of small stature and will likely become a stand-up collar. You can also place small objects such as fèves or antique ceramic figures on it and use it as a runner, hang it from a shelf, or place it on a tray to hold jewelry or watches. I personally think it's very cute.
