~Fabulous Antique Hat Veil~

Circa early 1800s, a very beautiful large hand made Chantilly lace hat veil, shawl or Mantilla.  This shawl has been made with the the finest thread, light in the hand and is quite ethereal. The design is quite beautiful ,with large scale bouquets of elaborate flowers and leaves. The design has ornate scroll work throughout  and has a gentle scalloped edges. One could say....poetry in motion as one can only imagine the great skill of the lace maker and of course the designer. The would have been attached to a hat-there is a ribbon tie.  This could be used in many different ways. 

In quite amazing condition for its age there are no stains or holes-there may be a few broken brides and or enlarged openings. 

Approx Measurements- 36.5" long and 43.5" wide

This  wonderful item would be spectacular on display or worn as the perfect accessory for a night on the town.  A real show stopper.  

I am always happy to answer questions.
