Border
1877 - 1900 (made)
| Place of origin |
It is probable that this multi-coloured lace border was made by Italian lace manufacturer Michelangelo Jesurum, who established a lace school at Pellestrina outside Venice in the 1870s. The school made lace in a range of historical and contemporary styles, and Jesurum introduced new types of lace, including in 1877 multi-coloured bobbin lace.
Jesurum et Cie sold a wide range of products in addition to lace of their own manufacture, including needle lace made at Burano, and also performed repairs and reproduced antique lace.
