This is extremely fine, museum quality , hand made "Drawnwork" / "Drawn thread" needle lace doily. The lace maker starts with a piece of material and with a needle and thread draws the threads of the material together to make the design. The spider web in the doily is done with a needle and thread after the drawnwork is done as a filler. This technique dates back to the 16th Century. It took most likely 40 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 : 5-3/4 x 5-3/4 ".
