Starting price: $49.99 with reserve
Auction ends: Jan 26, 2011 17:59:26 PST
Offered by: Paivi Roberts, Ebay seller greatlace, Paris-Palm Beach
Comments: All of the clothwork is a double buttonhole stitch, which is a little unusual. The rosettes seem consistent, but not matching, and there’s a lot of variation in the brides, even where they are not repaired. The bobbinlace along the neckline is a Venise plaited type. A very interesting piece.

http://tinyurl.com/45lrkr8 Antique silk Irish crochet handmade lovely collar
Starting price: 24.99 GBP
Auction ends: Jan 28, 2011 08:36:25 PST
Offered by: Ebay seller discover4, London
Comments: Silk Irish Crochet doesn’t come up very often. The rings around the edge of this piece are a bit unusual – normally IC has a looped border. Seems in good shape. See http://swiftantiquelace.com/lace19th_detailO.html for a really nice example, too bad it’s sold. Notice the difference in the edging.
Sold for 31.00 GBP, 2 bidders.

Comments: Difficult to say how old a pillow like this might be. The work looks modern. These Spanish pillows with partially worked pieces come up fairly regularly, although more from Spanish sellers. This one is nicely set up and from what I can see, looks in good condition.
