CIRCA 1900, EXQUISITE BURANO LACE TABLE RUNNER
CIRCA 1900, EXQUISITE BURANO LACE TABLE RUNNER. I love this beautiful and graceful table runner! The design is elegant and quite exquisite in itself..but at the same time the workmanship is also absolutely superb .The linen itself is the finest linen one could ask for and it seems this triangle of three.. linen, design and workmanship is all one could ask for when looking for the best of lace or linen items. Many of these fine linens came from very wealthy estates where excellence and taste were quite normal in the home.During the 1800's-1900's many Americans travelled to Europe on their Grand Tours collecting the most wonderful array of items, from clothing to lace and linens etc.I do not know the exact provenance..but I do know where this collection ended and who it was who supplied it many years ago. Measuring approx.69-70" by 24-25".In very good condition, this was washed and preserved in acid free tissue paper.Th runner seems unused or for that matter rarely used.

CIRCA 19THC. LOVELY 156" BRUSSELS LACE FLOUNCE W/RIBBONS AND FLOWERS
CIRCA 19THC. LOVELY 156" BRUSSELS LACE FLOUNCE W/RIBBONS AND FLOWERS. Quite a amazing length on this lovely Brussels lace flounce. Measuring approx. 156" by 12 1/2" wide, approx. Centimeters approx. 396.24 cm by 31.75 cm. The design is very attractive and has deep scallops on the edges. There are large floral bouquets that have ornate swags and ribbons between each large floral bouquet. There are other smaller floral swags at the top and Point de Esprit scattered throughout the lace. The lace has it's original cream patina and I especially love the different designs on the edges.In mainly good condition, there are a couple of larger repairs done near heading at the top of the lace.These were done in a early time and that usually means someone very skilled doing the repair.There are a few very small wear areas near top of lace, perhaps this was where it was attached and a few very small tiny repairs in the busy part of the lace design so one hardly notices them.If you need some more pictures of the repairs ,let me know.The lace seems almost unused..so perhaps used once and then stored away. It is always rare to find a good long length of Brussels like this.The design and workmanship are very good.
