What a beautiful piece this is, ladies. An original Edwardian collar, its in a delicate black bobbinette mesh embellished with velvet appliques, black seed beads and minute black sequin banding that glistens dramatically with the movement of the wearer. A wide collar with lapel shaping, the mesh base is edged with row upon row of tiny beads and sequins that separate to frame the ornate scrolled and shaped outline; the interior is just as ostentatious, with jet black velvet leaves and garlands. Incredible. A perfect embellishment to a Victorian or Edwardian restoration or reproduction, from a mourning cape to a luxurious evening dress, this collar is sure to enchant all over again.
Measurements: the photos are the best indication of size and scale, since the collar’s measurements are not as indicative of size when worn.
Length of inner edge, from tip, around neckline, to opposite tip:33″
Width at centre back: 6″ from neckline edge to tip of point.
Labels: no labels.
Closure: no closure, it will need to be fixed to a garment.
Condition: This collar is in fair antique condition. NO fade, NO marks, NO missing appliques. It is in fairly delicate condition; there are numerous breaks in the fine mesh backing, as shown in the pics, and some separations of the trim border from the base, most notable over the left shoulder, see the pics of the collar on the mannequin. Still very usable and again with the sequins and beadwork being intact is not difficult to work with, ready to grace an Edwardian creation with original opulence.
