antique vintage hand knitted lace flounce, fine cotton ruffle baby trim thread lace edging

We love the tiny 'baby lace' on this salvaged cotton flounce, it's not often we find much hand knit lace!

The cotton it's stitched to has a few seams and a few tears down the 5 yards total length, but we didn't see wear to damage to the lace edging itself. Just a little soil, remarkable considering this is probably a little over 100 years old.

The lace is 1/4" deep at the points, and lace and cotton flounce together measure 2 1/4" deep, with raw edge at the top of the cotton. A beautiful piece of 'antique whites' to use for a baby layette, or a wedding petticoat.
