Large Antique Maltese Silk Lace Collar Hand Made Victorian Era

This is a hand made antique Maltese silk lace collar in an off-white cream colour. It is hand made and must have taken many, many hours to make. The collar measures 19 along the neck edge and 47 along the outside edge. Laid out flat, it measures 18 square. This antique silk lace collar is in very good condition with no noted defect - there is a part of a snap sewn onto the back corner of the neck that you probably would want to remove (see last close-up photo).
This is a beautiful antique silk lace collar - nice size, lovely!
