Collar, 19th century, France, band-style arched collar of equal width. Floral ornament set against a mesh background; rim with a row of flower calyxes branching from a continuous branch decorated with small quatrefoils. Women's clothing accessory, lace; width 3.5 cm, length 46 cm., A delicate piece of lacework in a creamy off-white color curves across a flat background in a muted gray color, showing an open net-like ground with a scalloped lower edge and an upper edge that follows a gentle arc, featuring a repeating floral motif of small raised flowers and leafy elements connected by fine embroidered outlines, with denser embroidered sections along the scallops that form petal-like shapes and looped decorative outlines, and the overall texture appearing intricate and airy against the smooth gray backdrop.
