Burano lace collar, late 19th century
Italian Burano lace was widely copied by Far Eastern competitors in the late19th and early 20th centuries. This lovely collar, which comes with the original tag, is genuine Italian Burano lace.
Burano needlepoint lace is characterized by its ground of ladder-like rows perpendicular to the length. The late 19th century Burano industry produced a wide range of patterns copied from 17th century Venetian rose points and 18th century French laces.
Our collar features a variation of a 17th century style with the addition of later fillings. On his coronation day, Louis XIV of France wore a precious Burano lace collar made over two years of patient needlework.
The condition is excellent. The lace just has a few age spots, which I do not consider a problem.
The collar is 15 1/2" long by 2 3/8" wide.
