This offering of cluny lace was taken off a dress years ago and stored away for years. A large cluny collar that measures 26" x 22" when laid flat with a depth of 9-1/2" at center. A wide lace skirt bottom that also has no breaks or stains measuring 16" in width and 65" in diameter. Various lengths as shown in 3 picture. Top lace measures 22" x 4" wide, next one down measures 31" x 1-1/2", next 96" x 2" one small rip at edge, an easy fix, and the bottom lace measures 32" x 1-1/2". No breaks no stains. The condition is excellent with one piece that has very small old age oxidation spots, that will come out with its first washing, no rips and the material is strong and sturdy and ready for any project. I believe these laces date from the 1900's or earlier. I also have similar lace items in MY EBAY STORE. ANTIQUE LACE AND TRIMS
