content: This Gros Point de Venise needle lace has been remodeled into collar. The elaborate three-dimensional floral motifs and scrolls are edged with a woven braid at the neck edge and a narrow bobbin lace edging at the outside edge. The original early 18th century lace has been pieced together and repaired from good quality needle lace. The repairs are crude, and made with a different color thread, but create a nice overall effect. This is one of many laces Mrs. Pinchot collected for the Smithsonian to show samples of various types of lace.
