Antique/Vintage from the UK. Soft and three-dimensional, woven in Scotland. A very high-end and elegant curtain panel of Nottingham lace, the pinnacle of Madras lace, 100% cotton. Three-dimensionally woven to stand out in relief, a lovely floral pattern of five-petaled flowers, resembling violets and forget-me-nots. The flowers, stems, and leaves, overflowing with vitality and undulating, create a flower pot, a curve like arabesque, also looks like a cornucopia/horn of plenty*. An exquisite fabric with a refined ecru white tulle base, with thicker weft threads than warp threads inserted horizontally, creating an uneven texture. The shadows of the lustrous and glossy threads reside in a soft, sheer net similar to silk. The name originates from the 19th century Victorian era, when a factory for manufacturing the finest curtains for the UK & Europe was established in Madras, India. It is said that the original lace looms were inherited from India and woven in Scotland. A valuable grade called Madras, the highest/special grade, exceeding the fine 14-point mesh, which is considered superior in Nottingham lace, with the smallest mesh. Woven slowly and luxuriously over time, the delicacy, taste, and texture differ from mass-produced products that prioritize production efficiency and speed, and you will be amazed by the high-quality softness when you touch it. In addition to its smooth and fluffy softness, it also has moderate strength, and the three-dimensional weaving, which is particularly common in this item, also ensures privacy from outside views.

Both the top and bottom are original edges. The sides are selvedges. A specification that preserves practical strength. The flat back is also beautiful. An artistic appearance comparable to a tapestry dresses up the space. It refines and colors windows, bay windows, doors, and furniture. Also for canopy decoration around the bed. A nuanced white that blends in with both Japanese and Western styles. Also for cafes, flower shops, etc. For shabby chic & modern houses, mansions, and old private houses. Perhaps a sample product, a rare item. A classical and elegant work that combines traditional techniques and a refined aesthetic sense ∞ *In Greek mythology, a goat nursed the great god Zeus. As a symbol of abundance, good harvest, and fertility, it is one of the decorative motifs favored in Europe. It is sometimes used by intertwining horns with flowers and fruits.
