I think it very interesting how the medallions are inset in the linen. The effect is quite lovely...and would be an interesting way to use a small motif to make a larger piece.

Antique lace...
We made a stop on the trip over to the Seattle area at a favorite antique store along the way. This was the only piece of tatting I found, but it is unusual and interesting and only $4...and it came away with me.

That is a beautiful linen. I'll bet those inner medallions were hard to attach, but the effect is beautiful. I rarely find tatting when I shop.
ReplyDeleteThis is a real treasure - quite unusual, and was very skillfully done! So glad you rescued it and will give it a happy home! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, nice find. What an unusual piece - and only $4! I rarely find any tatting in antique stores, so it's fun to see pieces like this.
ReplyDeleteGood find, and interesting idea.
