This beautiful table centerpiece dates to ca. 1880s, Victorian Era, most likely British. It is a “mixed-lace". The shiny “vines" are purchased tape. The little “brides” or connecting threads that hold the tapes in place are handmade needle lace. The floral edge, the fine leaves and the fat little grapes are hand crocheted. The little buttons and tassels are an extra bonus that add value. I can’t see in the photo, but I am guessing they are crocheted as well? |
