This is a framed large piece of hand made Italian Point d Venice needlelace with an image of Elisabeth, Queen of Belgium who was married to King Albert I. She reigned with him from 1909-1934, and reigned as Dowager Queen until her death in 1965. She was much loved by the Belgian people. She assisted with the rescue of hundreds of Jewish children from deportation by Hitler. She was a supporter of the arts and was know for her friendship with notable scientists like Albert Einstein. The lace measures approximately 21"x 18". It is framed in a gilt wood frame on a taupe ground. The frame measures approximately 26"x 22". I do not know when the lace was made. I will guess that it was in her lifetime.
