Collar composed of several pieces of needle lace with flowers and exotic fruits, Collar composed of one or more pieces of natural colored needle lace: Argentan lace. Curved strip-shaped model. Pattern with flowers, leaves and fruits. A symmetrical motif in the middle consists of a semi-circular arc crowned by a rosette. Four long feathered leaves spring from one another over the arch and bend over the arch. Under the arch a five-lobed flower, possibly a French lily. The rest of the pattern is not entirely symmetrical and consists of flowers (carnations, rosette flowers), exotic fruits including a pomegranate motif and volutes. It is reminiscent of patterns of the silk fabrics from around 1715-1725, which in turn could have been inspired by lace patterns. The motifs are made with festival stitches with recesses, decorative stitches and cordons with and without picots around, among other things, flower hearts. The motifs are connected by a hexagonal mesh. The meshes are tightly sewn with festoon stitches and feature picots, the characteristics of the Argentan soil. The lace is made in France and can be dated to the second quarter of the 18th century. The collar was assembled in the Netherlands at the end of the 19th century. These types of compositions were also frequently used in this period in Italy (Burano) and in Belgium., anonymous, France, c. 1720 - c. 1730 and/or c. 1870 - c. 1899, linen (material), Argentan lace, l 111 cm × w 47 cm w 21.5 cm
