Size: collar 15″ x 3.25″, cuffs 9.25″ x 3.25″
Starting Price: $19.99
Auction ends: Nov 08, 2012 20:48:38 PST
Offered by: Ebay seller fleursdeslise, Rogers, CT, United States
Comments: I’m thinking this is a Burano set from the appearances of the clothwork stitches. There may also have been some kind of frontpiece or dress insert to attach to the longer choker collar. The raised edges on the motifs are quite elaborate and nicely done. These later 19th c copies of Gros Point were done in several places, including England, Austria, Belgium and Italy. Not always easy to tell them apart. This set is in very good condition but with some brown staining which should come out with an appropriately conservative wash.

Offered by: Ebay seller suesse_jolle, Gransee, Deutschland
Comments: This piece is on the German version of Ebay. It’s a good older Klöppelstand – the pillow and some bobbins are part of another auction – they look newer. The piece is at least 40 years old according to the seller, and looks in good shape. It does have a lidded box behind the piece with the nameplate (no name, however).
Sold for 51.00 EUR, 5 bidders.

Comments: A deep Maltese collar with some interesting ground patterns in the center section – basically grids of woven leaves arranged in 8-petaled flowers. It’s a bit unusual. Condition looks good, the seller cites a few loose threads, nothing major.

Size: 13″ square
Starting Price: $9.99
Auction ends: Nov 11, 2012 11:26:57 PST
Offered by: Ebay seller mztiqueu, Upstate NY, United States
Comments: I don’t think this was intended as a handkerchief – it’s too nice in the center. It is a muslin applique on machine net, quite elaborate with some relief embroidery. The motifs are fastened with chain stitch which might indicate Belgium, but it’s more delicately done than the larger veils one usually sees. Also note the nice circular esprits in the ground. An interesting piece in very good condition, although from the photos I’m not entirely sure what the color is.

Comments: A border of Rosaline Perle – I like the work on the feathery leaves and the chains of flowers with perle centers. Borders like this are a bit unusual. Seller notes some age discoloration and minor fraying at the cut edges, nothing serious.

Comments: A very collectible wide, long Brussels bobbinlace application on machine net – a true crinoline flounce. It’s not the very highest quality design, but not much below and definitely aimed at the high end market. Needlelace fillings are limited to a few rings. The condition from the photos looks very good, which in itself is quite unusual for this kind of lace. Seller notes a few small breaks and repairs and age discoloration, minor in a piece like this.
