This remarkable antique broderie anglaise (eyelet embroidery) and crochet lace white cotton half apron is entirely hand sewn, embroidered and crocheted. Lace insertions have been sewn by hand and lace crochet trim has been made using the cotton hem as a support (lace trim has been crocheted directly through the cotton hem). The delicate embroidered eyelets form round garlands of flowers at the bottom of the short apron. It is an exceptional piece of exceptional craftsmanship. So precious in fact that its owner has very carefully mended a tear on the left side as shown in the pictures. Was it a personal treasure or a servant maid apron? I cannot say but it says something about proudness and dignity.

Dimensions: (18 1/2") tall, 9 cm (18") wide at the bottom and 97 cm (38") at the top including the ties, 30,5 cm (12") without ties. It is for a slim tiny person.

État:  Very good used condition. It has been very skilfully mended which add to its authenticiity and attractiveness. 

Smoke-free environment. Shipping fees always combined on multiple purchase.

NOTE: All our products are antique or vintage. We strive to purchase and present only items in good to near-mint condition, but most pieces will show some degree of wear that we try to describe and show in our pictures.
