Two Irish Lace Fans from the early 20th century, the first of Carrickmacross needle lace, the loops

Two Irish Lace Fans from the early 20th century, the first of Carrickmacross needle lace, the loops visible along the top border. The design, more elaborate than normal, incorporates an upper border of flowers, a lower border similar, with the body of the leaf divided into sections allowing for large areas of competent filings. The monture, of yellowy cream, is likely to be later than the leaf. Guard length 10.5 inches or 26.5cm. Together with an embroidered net fan leaf mounted onto bone, the monture lightly carved and gilded, with pink highlights for small flowers. The leaf, possibly Limerick, with scalloped top border, is designed with three flower sprays, the centres of the flowers with fillings. The reserves are scattered throughout with smaller flowers and leaves. Guard length 9.5 inches or 24cm.

Sold for £150
Estimated at £80 - £120


 

. The Carrickmacross leaf has been washed.
