Beautifully detailed antique French blouse dating to the 1910s, featuring linen lace and whitework embroidery.

Made from Cluny-style lace with a matte texture (linen or linen blend, quite rare), it also features cotton eyelet embroidery, and fine soutache embroidery at the collar.

This piece reflects early 20th c. French textile craftsmanship and the influence of regional lace traditions. The machine-made lace is strongly inspired by Cluny lace, a historic handmade lace from the Burgundy region of France. The use of linen is also significant, it connects to ancient European lace tradition, when linen was the primary fiber used (before cotton became widespread in the 19th c.)

Charming and versatile antique piece!

Easy to style: layered over a dress, paired with colorful pieces to highlight the lace, or worn with neutral tones for a softer look. Works well with simple outfits (perfect with jeans!), or with more refined pieces to emphasize its delicacy.

Perfect for collectors, or for adding a romantic/antique touch to a modern wardrobe.

CONDITION: Very good. A very small rust stain at the front bottom of the blouse (the stain is located on the basque/peplum part, which is supposed to be tucked and unseen)

SIZE: M - looks pretty on smaller sizes as well

MEASUREMENTS (laying flat):
Armpit to armpit - 50 cm / 19.7"
Waist - 45 cm / 17.7"
Back length - 46 cm / 18.1"
