Mantilla de encaje Carrickmacros procedente de la Colección Privada de los Duques de Kent (MN118)

Beautiful mid-19th century triangular Carrickmacross lace shawl composed of linen with hand-applied tambour lace on a cotton net.

Carrickmacross lace was created in 1820 by Mrs Grey Potter, who based her lace technique on Italian lace, which she acquired on her honeymoon. Carrickmacross lace was introduced to provide work for young women in rural Ireland.

This form of lace has been used on royal wedding dresses, including Princess Diana’s dress designed by the Emanuels and the dress of the current Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

Su temática es de ramos de flores, con unas maravillosas blondas sutilmente curvadas, con borde serpenteante con motivos de flores y hojas y suelo ramificado. Muy buen estado de conservación,.
