Antique Victorian Needlework Hand Made Lace Lady Shirtfront Collar Bodice Insert

It measures 12x7”

THIS IS FROM A SMALL COLLECTION OF TEXTILES I HAVE FROM A PROMINENT SIOUX CITY, IOWA FAMILY (Dr Smith). I believe these items I’ll be listing date from 1850’s-1890’s.

This is a lovely old hand made lace blouse insert

I don’t really know much about the kind of lace it is. It kind of seems like a miniature or micro version of batten-burg lace.

It’s not perfect. See pictures for condition. No adverse smells. From a smoke and pet free home.
