Lovely Lille or Arras bobbin lace edging

A very sophisticated design of diamonds topped with a fringe-like element of looping gimp threads. Background is a point ground with point d'esprit of little square leadworks.

A few inches more than 2 yards long, 2 inches deep. Enough for a beautiful neckline treatment on a re-enactors costume, or something spectacular for a very special doll.

Probably early 1800s. Excellent condition.
