Nice handmade bobbin lace handkerchief, probably circa 1900, of Belgian lace -- not quite fine enough to be called “Point de Fee”, but certainly interesting Binche continuous bobbin lace and a worthy study piece. Design appears to be a compilation of three joined edgings, worked as a continuous wide edging. The seam is not finely done, but an interesting study piece as a comparison to other Binche and Point de Fee. Lace about 2 1/2 inches deep, handkerchief about 10 inches overall. Clean and ivory white. Mint condition.
