Tenerife Lace Jacket, ca. 1911

This type of lace is often used for decorative garments and accessories and is known for its fine, complex patterns. One such example is a very beautiful and rare jacket made from Tenerife lace, which originated in America around 1911. The jacket is in very good condition, but shows subtle signs of wear on the collar and a few torn or pulled threads. Such pieces are particularly sought after by collectors and lovers of antique fashion, as they embody craftsmanship and historical significance.

Tenerife lace, also known as needle lace, evolved from earlier styles of openwork, where medallions and circular motifs were created in fabrics by cutting and sewing groups of threads into existing pieces of fabric. This technique requires great skill and precision, making the resulting pieces true works of art.

The measurements of the jacket are as follows: Chest: approx. 90 cm, waist: approx. 70 cm and length: approx. 75 cm.

This jacket would make an exceptional addition to any collection and an impressive garment for special occasions.
