Antique White Work Embroidered Collar, c 1800

DescriptionThis is beautiful example of a white work collar in very fine cotton, embroidered with delicate sprays of mimosa and other flowers and varied leaves in groups at intervals round the outer edge. The neck edge is finely hemmed and the outer edge is finished with a border of handmade lace at the edge. The embroidery is slightly raised and looks almost padded and is really exquisite. The collar measures 38 cms/15 inches round the neck edge and the outer edge measures 78 cms/approx. 31 inches, The depth of the collar is 22 cms/8.5 inches inches at the centre back and 29 cms/11.5 inches at the front. The collar has been later attached to a yoke of net to eliminate stitching it to a garment in the style of a filler. This could easily be unpicked if desired. There are a two holes on the front at the neck edge one on each side, which can all be seen in the penultimate photograph and one in the net yoke. This is a lovely collar and would grace any collection or add authenticity to a period garment.
