Antique Bobbin Lace Embroidery Doily Belgium Clover ☘ Triangle Mat

Delicate European antique handmade needle & bobbin lace piece.

Unusual triangular (approx. isosceles triangle) shape.

Purchased at an antique lace shop in Bruges, a historic city in Belgium, so it is likely a bobbin lace piece from that region. It may also be from nearby areas such as Brussels or Flanders.

Delicate and intricate openwork lace technique. Motifs are created with fine linen tape, and the lace patterns fill the voids (spaces) or are woven stitch by stitch with varying degrees of tightness and looseness to connect the motifs.

Appears to feature motifs resembling a three-leaf clover ☘, new shoots, butterflies ∞, berries, and leaves.

Delicate picot lace embroidery finishes the entire trim. It would also look lovely framed.

A net pattern meticulously created by twisting threads, similar to Italian Point de Venise.

A fresh and refreshing piece that captivates with its gentle elegance.

Perfect as a doily or mat for displaying objects, jewelry, or dolls, as well as for hanging from furniture or windows, or simply pinning to a wall as decoration.

Please excuse any errors in the amateur measurements below for this handmade item.

Longest side: 19.2 cm
Shortest sides: 14.3 cm & 14 cm
Height: 11.1 cm

It has a moderate stiffness. The material is imagined to be very fine/superb linen thread, or possibly cotton and linen.

It is difficult to distinguish the front from the back, and the thread work is so neat that it is beautiful even on the reverse side.

There are no stains or discoloration, and no fraying or damage. It feels slightly stiff, as if starched, so it is likely in very good, unused condition.

A delicacy and texture on a different level from machine-made items.

Can be sandwiched between a double-glass frame or hung from a wall or furniture.

I am also listing other antique Belgian bobbin lace & Point de Gaze, as well as numerous antique laces from France, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, and more.

The laces photographed with this item will also be listed soon. I hope the differences in color, texture, and thread fineness will be helpful for your reference.
