Description

The listing, Antique Renee Foiret Lace Collar has ended.

This beautiful Brussels lace from Renee Foiret lace trim set comes in an old, possible original silver cardboard box. The long piece is 22 inches long, the triangles are 5 inches on the long side and 4 inches on the short sides.
Each piece is in very good condition in terms of strength of the fabric, but all pieces have yellowed with age. I know there are ways to remove yellow from antique lace, but I did not try to do so.
My mother told me that my grandmother handmade all the clothes for her daughters, and my aunt was an excellent seamstress. It is possible that these were purchased to use on a lovely gown, as lace collars could be added and removed as fashion dictated.

Lace Making began in Belgium I believe. I have a Silver Charm from Bruges of a woman making lace, I didn't know what exactly she was doing so I had to look it up!
