Lace frill

Cité de la dentelle et de la mode

Cité de la dentelle et de la mode
Calais, France

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the great merchant-manufacturers offered pieces that revisited old lace. These pieces of virtuoso execution display a decor that was (or not) the taste of the day. The Art Nouveau movement, however, had little influence on lace: this production by Melville and Ziffer is one of the few pieces influenced by this movement.
