CIRCA 1890-1900, IRISH CROCHET LACE BABY'S BONNET. A very unusual Irish Crochet bonnet.A bold design with raised three dimensional design and such a unusual crown.The first thing I would do..is remove the ribbons.. Newer ribbons should never be used with antique lace or linens. There is a time and place for everything, one can add old ribbon or leave as is.

CIRCA 19THC. SUPERB IRISH YOUGHAL LACE

CIRCA 19THC. SUPERB IRISH YOUGHAL LACE. The workmanship is quite superior on these two pieces of Irish Youghal lace and the design is excellent. I am not sure if they were made as dress fronts..the lace was never used and came from a museum deaccession of fine laces. Perhaps they were being made up to adorn a dress. There is a wonderful movement in the meandering vines and leaves with exceptional large beautiful florals. Measuring approx. 17-20" by 8" at widest part. The lace has it's original cream patina.In very good unused condition, one reattachment needed on edge, minor. Excellent both in design and workmanship.

DECORATIVE CUSHION TOP W/APPENZELL,BRUSSELS LACE, ETC. Excellent whitework embroidery on this heart shaped cushion top.The composite work has fine raised satin stitch embroidery surround two needle lace vignettes filled with a portrait of a Roman? lady and gentleman.There is Irish Crochet, Brussels lace and Cantu lace. Although mainly in good strong condition, there is some damage and so Cantu lace needs a few attachments  on edge and some wear in lawn..overall a pretty item. It is quite ornate and so what I call a busy item.. which always means some work gets hidden because it is so  dense with lace.
