Antique Richelieu Lace Collar with Chiffon Ribbon

Piece No. 3 | The Inner Body Collection This antique collar from the early 19th century belongs to a very special collection: The Inner Body. I selected the most exquisite garments for this exciting project. Then I restored them and, as a final touch, two Spanish poets wrote their poems on the pieces. Size: XS–M Measurements (approx.) – garment laid flat: - Width: 13 in or 33 cm - Length: 18 in or 45 cm Material: Cotton Details: Richelieu lace (cutwork), garnet chiffon ribbon You can pair it with our Piece No. 4 from this collection. Condition: Very good vintage condition. This piece has been fully restored and deep-cleaned; however, it shows signs of age. If you need more photos of the garment, please don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll provide them. Care instructions: Hand wash in cold water (with lots of love and gentleness!). Air dry. More information: On this 19th-century piece, the poet Carlos García Mera wrote one of his sweetest poems: Lo poco que sé de mí está escrito en el anillo más hondo de un nogal. Buscamos lo inesperado en lo alto de las torres, en la cima de los templos. Ignoramos que existe la sorpresa en la belleza de lo simple, en el jardín cerrado de un bosque al que hemos sido invitados después de la tormenta. Hoy, un nido de autillos ha hecho de mi centro el centro de su canto. Hoy, un nómada ha puesto la primera piedra junto a un árbol. Inédito, 2023.
