Representing a superior collection of fifteen authentic Flemish lace appliques and medallions, handcrafted in the late 19th or very early 20th century. This set, preserved in remarkable 'as-new' condition, originates from the historic lace centers of Flanders, Belgium.
History of the Item: Flemish lace is distinguished by its use of exceptionally fine local linen and complex bobbin or needle techniques. These pieces feature the 'cordonnet' technique — a raised, decorative outline thread (also known as 'skan' in Eastern European terminology) that provides structural volume and emphasizes the intricate floral motifs. Found preserved in original silk tissue paper, this collection has avoided the typical oxidation and structural degradation common in antique textiles.

- Technique: Handmade lace with raised cordonnet relief
- Quantity: 15 individual specimens
