Perhaps a French antique, A graceful Victorian era, circa the 19th century, Normandy lace runner, cross. A very delicate arabesque pattern continues, Hand-knitted bobbin lace, And a garland of hand-embroidered galon lace with delicate flowers like three-leaf clovers and forget-me-nots, eyelets, Patchworked with Valenciennes lace with plant motifs of leaves and fruits, mainly vertical lines, A work that combines neatness and elegance, with a soft scallop lace rim decoration. Seven vertical connections are gathered at the top and bottom, 10 pieces of material are hand-sewn together, Creating a beautiful runner that seems to play a waltz. The ends of the galon lace have ladder embroidery. Delicate and cool. The colors are also very attractive. A gentle and elegant ivory, like a drop of pink, a skin tone, Ecru with a pale cream color. A soft and graceful impression. The bobbin linen thread is also fine and high quality. Smooth, supple, and cool and soft. I imagine the galon lace embroidery is Cotton thread. A narrow frill wrapped around the rim. It is quite soft and delicate, and the thread thickness varies, with dozens of Repair marks for damage, and it is distorted. The small picot lace embroidery on the edge is lovely. The following is an amateur measurement of a handmade work, Please forgive any errors as there may be differences depending on the measurement location m(_ _)m Long side: Approximately 30.8-30.5 cm (including frills) Short side: 20-19.5 cm (including frills) It looks like there is no color change from a distance, but Within the Valenciennes lace in the frame near the rim's frill, A pale brown discoloration of about 1.3 cm x 7 mm can be seen (Image 18 & 19, lower right side) In addition to the dozens of repairs on the rim, There are also repair marks within the bobbin lace. How much time, effort, and number of times it took How carefully it was repaired, I can feel the affection and love for the work. For those who appreciate the handmade work and the atmosphere, including the repairs. Please understand the history of the years and the hands of people, And please be tolerant of any difficulties not mentioned m(_ _)m For tables, chests, cabinets, and entrances.
