Princess lace wedding veil, early 20th century
Imagine your walk down the aisle wearing this lovely lace veil. It can be "something old" for your wedding ensemble. Remember the old English saying:
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
The veil is fashioned from white cotton tulle hand appliquéd with bouquets of princess lace flowers, a type of tape lace. The delicate tapes are available in rounded and scalloped shapes that resemble handmade Brussels lace. The handwork in the veil is to die for!
The veil forms a gossamer, gracious and modest mantle for the bride on her most important day. Every bride is beautiful in her own way. While the strong have power, and the rich their wealth, the beautiful have their grace.
Princess lace is a good buy if you want the look without the expense of handmade Brussels lace. I have sold comparable veils, fashioned from handmade Brussels lace, for over $2,400.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
The veil is 108" long at the center-back.
