Lace frill

The Lefébure factory was active in Bayeux between 1829 and 1932. This was one of the most important French lace houses of this period. Great connoisseurs of the history of hand-made lace, Auguste Lefébure, and then his son Ernest, approached perfection in the virtuosic creation of ancient and contemporary point techniques. Here a Chantilly style lace, a manufacturing speciality, whose decoration resonates with the aesthetics of Art Nouveau: umbels whose inclination suggests the movement of the wind.
