Vintage Solstiss French Lace – Pink & Silver Metallic Floral – France
An exceptional piece of vintage Solstiss French lace, featuring an elaborate floral design in a rich pink/fuchsia tone accented with shimmering silver metallic threads. Delicate, dramatic and unmistakably luxurious, this lace combines an airy fine-net ground with beautifully defined floral motifs and ornate scalloped border detailing.
The original Solstiss hangtag remains attached and identifies the lace as “Dentelle Fabriquée en France” — lace made in France using the traditional weaving techniques for which French lace has been internationally renowned for generations.
The metallic silver accents are particularly striking. Rather than overwhelming the design, fine reflective threads are incorporated throughout the floral lace, catching the light as the fabric moves and creating a sophisticated sparkle.
This is a beautiful acquisition for a textile collector, couture designer, bridal or eveningwear specialist, costume designer, restoration project, luxury sewing collection, or anyone seeking genuine vintage French lace with distinctive visual presence.
Design & Details
The lace features an elaborate repeating floral composition incorporating roses and smaller blossoms, leafy sprays, scrolling botanical elements and finely worked open-net areas. A broad decorative scalloped floral border adds further dimension and provides excellent possibilities for hems, sleeves, overlays, veils, bodices and statement garment details.
The fabric is lightweight, sheer and highly decorative, with the characteristic delicacy expected of fine French lace.

Measurements & Remnant Information
This listing is for one vintage Solstiss lace remnant. The piece has been previously hand-cut and is not perfectly rectangular or uniformly cut along all edges. Measurements stated below represent the approximate usable area of the lace, rather than the maximum dimensions of every projecting, scalloped or irregularly cut section.
Approximate usable length: 5 yards
Approximate usable width: 46 inches
Weight: 10.9 oz
The attached original Solstiss factory label appears to record approximately 4.45 meters / 4.86 yards in length and 111 cm / 43.71 inches in width. The current dimensions above were independently measured from the usable portion of the remnant. Because this is a flexible, delicate vintage textile with hand-cut and irregular edges, all measurements should be considered approximate.
Please review the photographs carefully to see the actual configuration, cut edges, scalloped border and overall shape of the piece.
Condition
Vintage remnant with original Solstiss labeling still attached. The lace presents beautifully and retains its vivid color, intricate floral detailing and metallic shimmer. As vintage fabric that has been stored and previously cut, minor age-related handling, loose threads, irregular edges, small pulls or other subtle storage characteristics may be present. No representation is made that the piece is a factory-cut rectangular five-yard length. Please examine all photographs closely for the exact condition and usable configuration of the lace being offered.
Ideal For
An outstanding textile for couture and bridal fashion, evening gowns, overlays, bodices, sleeves, veils, lingerie, theatrical and period costume, luxury accessories, textile study, archival collections, display, restoration and sophisticated sewing projects.
Note: Colors may vary slightly due to lighting and screen settings. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
