Vintage cotton lace trim made around the mid 20th century in the traditional lace-making region of Le Puy-en-Velay, Haute-Loire, France.
Made from quality cotton thread, soft and durable, easy to work with for sewing or restoration.
The lace is sold on its original card. It may show light antique storage marks, but it remains in great condition and very clean throughout.

Please note that all our laces and linens are sold as found, unwashed and unused, they have been stored for many years so if any cleaning or ironing is needed, it will be left to the buyer. Before use, gently hand wash or soak in soft soap, rinsed and towel dried (no wringing!!) and let to air dry. The ancient folk wisdom says that it is better to spread the fabrics on a meadow and let the dew and the moon naturally whiten the fabric.
The color shades go from white to ecru and cream, and because the handmade lace was made by different women and threads, on some occasions the color of each roll from the same type differs slightly. They have been stored for many decades (almost a century), so it is possible that some of them may show dust or a light patina; this is precisely what gives them their unique, endearing charm. I try my best to show and describe any exceptional wear or damage.
