Item Number: L 001 A Venetian lace "Point de Neige" About 1690. This extremely fine piece of an end 17th century Lace is in mint condition without any restorations made which is rarely the case for laces of such old age.

It comes from the well known British collection of Lady Strachey formed between 1890 to 1930. 110  cm x 13 cm Sold
