Description: VERY LONG - 63 INCHES (5-1/4 feet)! Read on.... VICTORIAN 1880-1900. Imagine this one streaming from a lovely Victorian headdress! Appears to be traditional French Blonde Chantilly lace. Beautiful condition with one small area of loose edging (easy fix) on an end. MEASURE: 3 inches wide and 63 inches long One nice source says: "Length of the lappets depended on how the head was dressed, including the height of any wig, the placement of a cap, and where the streamers were attached. They might be folded on the top of the head, or stream down the back from the head anywhere from shoulder to waist." Very popular for most of the 18th and 19th centuries! Great re-enacting accessory! Acquired in a true Victorian/Edwardian estate and guaranteed of the period. For your reference please see the last picture of watered silk ribbon found in with other textiles and wound on part of a 1873 bank advertising card. Additionally (sold last year), were writing paper backed crazy quilt squares that showed dates in the 1860's. Many pieces of sterling silver flatware bore engraving dates in the 1850's. This family lived in the Cincinnati area from about 1850-1925. All of our antique fabrics are unlaundered.
