Antique Georgian Regency Blonde Bobbin Lace Tambour Embroidery Bonnet Face Veil. Tweet
|
This antique Regency Georgian era blonde bobbin lace tambour embroidery bonnet face veil dates from 1830. It is hand stitched, made of a sheer fine off white blonde bobbin lace, plaited mesh, with tambour embroidery work done in a flower pattern along the bottom and scalloped side edging. The top edging is unadorned. This lovely lace is sheer, unlined and would have been worn on a poke style bonnet as a front face veil. The veil fabric measures 42 inches long and 31 inches wide. It is in good useable condition, with only a few small faint age spot stains (see close-up). The provenance on the veil is it came from the Major Benjamin Swan House estate in Woodstock, Vermont and was supposedly used by Wallace Nutting in his photographs. This is truly a rare and early piece of Georgian era textile lace art! |
