Beautiful early 1900s vintage ecru cotton thread lace of European manufacture... we would have guessed this was French, but with the clover design, we're thinking perhaps Ireland?

It's out of the estate of a textile dealer and collector, but sadly she left no notes on the history of her collection.

It's 4" deep x 6+ yards, in excellent, unused condition. There's a tiny brown rust spot on the very end where this was pinned, and a few small foxing spots throughout.
