Description
Simply exquisite white Poinsettia drawn work lace handkerchief with a 3 1/2" wide lace border. At the corners the lace measures 5" wide. The fine cotton center is 5" square. The delicate workmanship on this is outstanding and there is no damage to the border upon close inspection. There is only one tiny flaw and that is two pinprick holes in the center of the hanky. One is slightly larger than the other. This is from the 30s and belonged to a collector for many years. I was finally able to purchase some of her handkerchiefs at her estate sale.It would be a marvelous wedding handkerchief or a lovely item for your collection.
It measures 12" x 12 1/2". I have gone over this carefully and haven't found any other issues, however this is almost 100 years old, and I may have missed something. All of the Poinsettia leaves are perfectly intact however a couple are slightly bent. It is being sold as it is.
It is clean and will be freshly pressed. It will be carefully packed and shipped from my smoke-free home.
