Materials: Fine white linen thread
worked as Brussels bobbin lace and Point de Gaz needle lace.
Condition: Excellent. There are
twenty cartouches with Point de Gaz medallions, about half of these
medallions have small holes in the handmade net.
Measurements: 38" x 116".
Comments: This wedding veil is
entirely hand worked, even the background net on the Pointe de Gaze
insertions is hand done. In addition to needle lace medallions there are
beautiful three dimensional needle lace roses. These Point de Gaz roses
are cleverly worked into the floral bobbin lace bouquets. The many
flowers, leaves and fern fronds worked in Brussels bobbin lace on this
veil are beautifully designed and balanced. An heirloom wedding veil,
this is a superb example of the art of fine
19th century lace making.
