Comments: Triangular shawls of 2nd Empire Brussels bobbinlace applique on machine net are fairly rare, and there are two on Ebay right now. Both have typical romantic floral designs, with esprits in the ground indicating a higher quality. Needlemade decorative ‘mode’ fillings in both.
Provenance: first – non cited. second – on consignment.
Condition:
Modifications: None in the first, on the second one there’s a wire running through the top, perhaps for a headpiece.
Damage: Nothing obvious from the photos in the first, I think there are some pinholes or tiny holes in the tulle in the second. Hard to tell without the closeups.
Soilage: first – cream color. second – off white color.
Finish: Some light fold creases in the second one.
