Never-used length of antique linen bobbin lace #27 - sold as a lot or in 2-metres lengths please read description
From an exceptional recent find, the stock of an old haberdashery, this is an unused remnant of handmade bobbin lace in a pure linen thread. These lengths (I have quite a few) would have been made as piecework by cottage outworkers, peasant women who earned part of their family’s money by putting their artisanal skills to use. I think these would date from the 20’s. The original labels are still on many of the lengths. It is in perfect condition and measures 5cm at the widest part by 16.7 metres long.
Sold in shorter lengths for €30 per 2 metres, or as an entire length for €220
