Comments: I like to avoid superlatives, but this piece really is stunning.  Note the pointed petals on the roses, a sign of a very high quality piece.
In a few days I’m posting a remarkable interview with Maria – we’ve been working on it for a week. I can only hope this may have inspired her to resume listing really high quality pieces like this shawl.

Comments: It is surprising how many times one finds early laces assembled into some kind of large linen piece. This one is a rather eclectic collection from numerous time periods. The collector needs to decide if this is a legitimate attempt to preserve early pieces, or a commercial version of more modern ‘Normandy’ laces. Whatever-  it is interesting.

Offered by: Ebay seller electrohippies-61, MAUSSANE LES ALPILLES, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’, France
Comments: This piece is dated 1869, I don’t know if this is accurate. Buyer beware.  The patina seems good, but without direct examination, it’s hard to tell. An unusual piece, and if the date can be verified, potentially important.
