This beautiful piece is made from a fine Irish linen and hand embroidered with a padded satin stitch and eyelet (which at the time would have been called broiderie anglese). The large size screams 'look at me' and yet the dainty handwork makes it elegant. The measurements are on the last picture. Imagine a time when collars such as these were standard fare. Heaven.
Hand washed, air dried and pressed. Excellent condition. c. 1900 - 1930
