Small size of the handkerchief, the little satin stitch embroideries on the fabric, and the hemstitched edge all suggest a turn-of-the 1900s date.

This lace has been named for its hexagonal background mesh, sometimes called a Point de Paris mesh. Corner is nicely turned with no seam. White, excellent condition. About 10 1/4 inch square. SOLD Detail of Point de Paris mesh cornerScrolling floral pattern is placed in the hexagonal background mesh often called Point de Paris.
