Look what was under the Christmas tree

 


It took a bit to get somewhat decent pictures. I’m fascinated! I don’t know enough about needle lace to say for sure, but I think this may be a machine made piece based on needle lace techniques. There is repaired damage, so I’m not afraid to use it rather than tuck it away on display. I think my first use will be a neighborhood social tomorrow evening!

  1. Gorgeous. I can’t spot any damage but wondered if you can repair it? Should be used anyway.

    1. The damage I spotted was repaired expertly. The only disappointment I have is that I don't know the provenance. I plan to wear it and ask people to study it and teach me what they see.
