Antique Belgian Point de Rose Needlework Lace Doily with Roses and Buds
Likely Belgian antique, beautiful Point de Rose lace from the first half of the 19th century.
Exquisite handmade Point de Rose... A round doily with an impressive arrangement of countless roses, approximately 30 in total, meticulously crafted with needlework in various shapes and forms.
The charming colors, imbued with the passage of time, are also a highlight. Gentle natural tones of ecru and ivory, with hints of pale khaki, fresh green, and gray.
At the center of the high-quality cotton/linen fabric, with a sheer, organza-like crispness and transparency, are gauze-like roses (flowers), leaves, and buds outlined with bobbin lace and embroidery. These are hand-sewn together. The delicate and refreshing style expresses leaf veins through variations in tightness and looseness.
Each petal is crafted with different thread thicknesses: finer threads for smaller petals and thicker threads for larger ones. The spaces are embroidered with needlework such as spiders, sunbursts, and asterisks. Picolace bridges are added to the spaces, and small picot embroidery adorns the edges for a festive touch.
The six flowers blooming inwards appear as roses, while the leaves resemble tulips. An elegant design with lily-like flowers placed between the roses. The 12 plump buds might even resemble strawberries. From the 12 half-bloomed roses on the rim, six leaves gently spread out. There's a hint of a fantastical Art Nouveau style.
The center fabric is slightly sheer, thin like muslin or organza, with a smooth, silky texture, possessing both softness and crispness. While I'm not an expert, I suspect it's linen made from extremely fine hemp threads. The lace is also smooth, with a slight sheen and firmness, leading me to imagine it's made from the finest cotton, or perhaps a blend of cotton, linen, and silk.
Please excuse any errors in the amateur measurements of this handmade item.
Diameter: Approximately 29.5 cm
Weight: 7g
The last two images show the reverse side.
It is in good condition with no tears or scratches, but there are about two very faint yellowish discolorations that are noticeable against a white background. As these are part of the atmospheric coloring, please understand that stain removal has not been attempted.
A beautiful and functional piece of intricate art and craft. It creates a wonderful atmosphere when used to display vases, bisque dolls, or other objects.
We would be delighted if you could use it beautifully on your entryway, tokonoma, table, shelf, cabinet, or chest.
