Description
This pair of delicate Binche bobbin lace lappets from circa 1730 have been sewn together. They are fragile and one end was shortened. They are made of very fine linen thread and the edges are whipstitched for stabilization. The floral pattern is very dense with a ground of snowflakes and five-hole ground.
