This is extremely fine, museum quality , hand made "Drawnwork" / "Drawn thread" needle lace doily. The centers are needle lace. This technique is done with a needle and thread by making button hole stitches, drawing threads together and weaving or darning another thread to hold them together. This doily started as a piece of material. The centers could have been cut out so the lace maker could do the needle stitches. This technique dates back to the 16th Century. It took most likely 60 hours of work to complete this exquisite sample of the Victorian era finest workmanship. It survived its 125+ years of existence in excellent condition with no broken threads. Size : 6-1/2" x 6-1/4".
