This piece is very beautiful!
Simply gorgeous 1940’s vintage Point de Gaze lace and linen bridal, wedding day handkerchief. Truly an heirloom to passed down generation to generation. Purchase along with 2 other hankies, this 1940’s era ladies hankie was made by the Desco Handkerchief Company. It still retains original label Made in Switzerland. There was one card in the box with the 3 hankies, which give a little history. It reads: POINT de GAZE Originally made by hand in Belgium during the 16th century. This reproduction is exquisitely made by machine in Switzerland with fine cotton threads and pure Irish linen center. A Desco Creation. @ nanaluluslinensandhandkerchiefs.com
Dreamy all white brides wedding handkerchief from Germany. We often think of the Swiss for quality hankies, but the Germans make beautiful lace also. Lovely chemical lace handkerchief has pretty detailing on the lace trim. The corners almost look like a small scrolled heart. Center is cotton, pristine for the bride, and hankie measures about 10.5" square. It is a special tradition to hand the wedding hankie down for generations to come. Lace adds an extra touch of romance to the special day.
A beautiful piece!
