Description
Unknown date and place (French/Spanish?).. Carefully stitched to a cloth covered mounting board.. Overall excellent but with some superficial darkening in small areas because of hair oil (?) residue.. Twisted metal-wire collar measuring appx. 60 x 47.5 cm. A complex, finely woven, twisted metal wire lace-work collar of indeterminate age and origin. The lace-work (for want of a better descriptive term) is minutely detailed and modelled after the examples from 16th century continental textile pattern books. It is decorated with elaborate three dimensional "rosettes" in a field of roundels varying in size and gauge of the wire utilized. Rebatos or collars included in early 17th century or late 16th century portraits of women seem close in style to the one offered here but the twisted wrapped wire construction argues for a later period (?). It was apparently worn at some time and then removed from the garment and preserved. See F Speelberg, Met. Museum of Art Bulletin, Fall, 2015, Fashion & Virtue.
