Description
This is an Antique Irish Crochet Lace Motif, handmade by local lace makers circa 1913, from the County Cork Industrial Association, Distributors of Real Irish Handmade Laces and Crochet.
This Irish Crochet Motif is a mixed Flowers and Scrolls with a Leaf Motif. It is made up of a Daisy Motif and a Mesh Flower Motif which are separated by an Mesh Leaf with Picot Border Motif and two Half Scroll Motifs. This design would have been inspired by the local flora and possibly the Celtic Revival. These motifs are worked in a very fine thread using a very fine crochet hook.
Measuring 3 inches wide by 5.5 inches high, the lace motif comes displayed on a blue felt backing, in a mount measuring 10 inches by 12 inches which fits a standard frame.
There are 168 of these motifs in the County Cork Industrial Association Collection. Each motif has been numbered and comes with a Letter of Authentication.
