Antique lace strip from Valenciennes (France) c. 1800
A strip of antique lace from Valenciennes (France).
This lace is uniquely decorated with a medallion framed with leaves in which two human arms are inscribed in the shape of a cross. This motif, which is repeated throughout the piece, may be related to the symbol of a Franciscan religious community.
Religious lace that would be suitable for a brotherhood or sisterhood during Holy Week.
Minimal flaws and small antique stains.
Good condition.
