Vintage French Lace Collar - Mid-Century Scrollwork & Silk Chiffon

This sweet little lace collar is a wonderful find from a French brocante in Nice. It features a beautifully dense, scrolling floral pattern created with traditional Schiffli style (chemical lace) giving it a wonderful texture.

Details:

1. The Neckline: This collar is finished with a soft, single-fold silk chiffon binding.
2. The Color: It has aged naturally into a warm, creamy tone, with some darker patches
3. The Shape: A classic V-neck silhouette with a scalloped edge.

Condition Note: This darling collar shows its history through its "as found" vintage charm.

1. Structure: The main lace body is strong and beautifully preserved.
2. Honest Wear: Please note there is some fraying to the delicate silk binding and a few loose threads in the lace embroidery.
3. Patina: Natural yellowing and minor age spots (foxing) are present, which add to its authentic antique character.
