A pretty and densely patterned antique hand crochet lace collar from around the 1840's.
The collar is in very good condition for it's age and use, although there are a couple of breaks to the crochet and a couple of small marks as seen in the photos.
The collar measures 40.5 cm/ 16 inches around the neck, and 18 cm/ 7 inches deep at the front and back.
