Lace
Not on view
This is an exquisitely crafted lace cravat end. Lace was often utilized as neckwear in the 17th and 18th centuries for aesthetic purposes and to emphasize the fine quality the wearer could afford. This refined example contains an exceptional level of detail in an obviously musically themed article. Music in this period was a common form of entertainment and utilizing it as a theme for an article of clothing is sensible and elegant.
