GORGOUS HANDMADE BOBBIN LACE, NOT BLACK MOURNING LACE, THIS IS THE SAME LACE QUEEN ELIZABETH PURCHASED FROM FRANCE BECAUSE BLACK LACE WAS REVERED AND APPRECIATED. ALSO DID YOU KNOW THAT MASS, ALSO WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR BLACK LACE .THIS IS NOT THE CHANTILLY LACE OF BLOND OR BLACK LACE. THIS LACE IS OF IT'S OWN HISTORY.IT USUALLY TOOK HUNDREDS OF BOBBINS FOR A PIECE THIS LARGE 8'.5" LONG x 24"wIT IS MADE OF THE OLD FINE HANDMADE LINEN AND HAS HELD IT'S DYE VERY WELL.The way they treated the weaving of very fine linen left a shine like no other, looks silky but isn't silk.It is made by several elderly ladies and each made a good size piece and unseen by an untrained eye it is connected.THE KIND OF LACE MAKING WOMEN WOULD GO BLIND IN AFTER VERY FINE WORK IN DARK CELLARS. Many groups have tried to reproduce this time consuming lace but the fine material (linen) is no longer.It is in excellent shape, has spiders, earcorns, point de paris ,braided lace/ honey comb unusual ground. nice gift
