Point de Venise lace sample
This sample of Point de Venise was described as Coraline in Charlotte Treadwin’s inventory. Treadwin was inspired to experiment with new techniques and designs by old laces such as this one. Antique laces were so fashionable in the second half of the 19th century that many early pieces like this one were cut up to make collars, cuffs and dress caps.
