EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of Brussels lace from the second half of the 19th century, showcasing intricate needlepoint work using linen and cotton thread. Measuring an impressive 99x600 cm, this exquisite creation is currently housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The delicate craftsmanship on display in this piece is truly remarkable, with its naturalistic design featuring beautiful flowers and leaves meticulously woven into the fabric. The use of tulle adds a touch of elegance to the overall composition, creating a sense of lightness and airiness.
What makes this particular piece unique is that it was machine-made rather than handcrafted, demonstrating advancements in technology during this period. Despite being produced by machinery, the attention to detail and precision in each stitch is evident, showcasing the skill and artistry of those who created it.
Brussels lace has long been revered for its beauty and intricacy, making it a highly sought-after textile throughout history. This print allows us to appreciate not only the technical prowess involved in its creation but also the timeless appeal of such exquisite craftsmanship.
