Brussels bobbin lace lappets, Circa 1710-1725

4 1/2 inches wide, 34 inches long.

Flowers and large seed pods that creat the illusion of fantastic Easter eggs. All motifs are surrounded by woven raised edges. Intricate, decorative clothwork. Tiny, nearly microscopic braids surround major motifs. Snowflake and other fillings. Very good condition. Picoted edge is not original.

Featured and described in the Fall 1992 issue of The Lace Collector newsletter (Vol. II No. 4) as the Faberges or Easter Egg lappets.
