phone number on the label (513.58.30) is a vintage 7-digit Brussels format.
This is a stunning, authentic piece of textile history from the renowned Real Lace Manufactory (Lace Gallery), formerly located at 30 Rue du Lombard in the heart of the historic lace district in Brussels, Belgium.
This handkerchief is a true "New Old Stock" find, remaining in pristine, unused condition since it was originally purchased (approx. 1950s-1970s). It features the original blue shop label and the rare "Hand Werk / Fait Main" (Handmade) certification stickers still attached.
Condition Details:
- Handkerchief: MINT/Pristine. No yellowing, no storage spots, and no "openings" or breaks in the delicate lace bridges. The center is a fine, high-quality white linen.
- Box: Includes the original presentation box. Please note the box shows "storage wear" (scuffs/light aging) consistent with its age, but it has protected the textile perfectly for decades.
Features:
- Technique: Authentic hand-worked lace (see photos for intricate floral needlework).
- Provenance: Original labels from the Lace Gallery, Brussels.
- Dimensions: 9x9
- Perfect For: A "Something Old" bridal gift, a baptismal keepsake, or a high-end addition to a vintage textile collection.
