lot antique early 1900s vintage Irish crochet lace collars, edging, dress trim

Lot of antique Irish lace crochet cotton edgings and collars, carefully saved from dresses and stored away for about 100 years.

There's two yokes (one very rough, but very elaborate), two collars, and three short lengths (possibly cuffs?).

These need a little work - they have some brown foxing which we have not attempted to soak out, and old fabric still attached to the lace where the lace was once attached to a dress. Also, they are a little wrinkled, you'll want to press all those tiny flowers out nicely!

But it's a lovely large lot, and Irish crochet is seldom seen these days. This stuff would be lovely on a wedding dress or other bridal or bridal party accessories.
