Antique 1920s Black Chantilly Lace Triangular Mantilla Veil Shawl As-Is:
$200.00
Corset shop owners extra lace from the 20’s
Thank you for looking at this piece! This is an authentic, 120-year-old antique black Chantilly lace shawl. Most people don't realize how impossibly fine and fragile historical lace is until they see it up close.What you see in the photos isn't modern structural damage; it is over a century of history. The ground net is so gossamer and spiderweb-thin that over 120 years, the weight of the heavy, decorative floral embroidery outlines (cordonnet) naturally separates from the background mesh. It has survived generations, and I believe those small splits are a testament to its age. Please review all macro photos closely to ensure you appreciate its delicate vintage state before purchasing
