shabby antique ecru silk lace flounce, wide lace edging, 1800s vintage French lace

1800s vintage wide lace flounce... we believe this is silk, probably French, but aside from that, we can't tell you much about it! We don't find a lot of fine lace fabrics here in the rural midwest, and lace types are not my specialty.

It's 5" deep, with the original scalloped hems a little worn. It's a 2 yard length, 72" inches. The color is very even and deep, almost a golden brown shade.

It's very fine and light, but does not seem to be at all brittle or shredding, though there's a couple of small holes, or tears (largest about 1" long, please see photos).
