This piece has 4, fabulous embroidered embellishments ~ This fabulous pieces comes from a collection , almost certainly of a lace embroiderer, which was a cottage industry in the 18th and 19th century. Most like this woman sewed from home to help support her family. This crisp voile fabric was either sized or mercerized as it has a lovely crisp hand. The embroidery stitches are so tiny, it's impossible to understand how in the world she stitched these! They would have been samples of her work for clothing collars etc. The tone is a lovely aged off-white ~ a gorgeous piece for any collection ~ a little masterpiece of embroidery! ~( please see my other listings for more from this collection.
