Rare Antique French Gold Bullion Lace Capelet

Exquisite is the best word to describe this Rare Antique French Gold Bullion Lace Capelet. The delicate gold bullion and embroidered net lace together with the gold metallic soutache is a work of art.  Entirely made of gold threads, this is luxury at its very finest. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own something of this quality.

This is a capelet, or shrug, meant to be worn over an evening gown. The work is beautiful, with hand sewn soutache circles alternating with thread embroidered net lace panels. There are two areas of loss a shown, due to the very busy nature of the collar, not immensely noticeable. {But you could certainly mend these two spots.} Such a beauty to wear, or to display with the greatest love and joy on your antique French mannequin. For the true collector.
