. This print showcases a remarkable piece of Belgian heritage art from the late 19th century. The collar, meticulously crafted by an unknown artist, is a stunning example of textile mastery and intricate design. Made from a blend of cotton mixed lace, including needle lace known as "point de gaze" and bobbin part lace called "duchesse" this collar exudes timeless beauty. Its delicate floral pattern adorns the fabric with grace and sophistication. The lappets gracefully cascade down the sides, adding an extra touch of elegance to this exquisite garment. Every stitch tells a story of skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations. Displayed in the renowned Art Institute Chicago's gallery, this artifact transports viewers back to a bygone era when attention to detail was paramount in fashion. The collar's decorative nature reflects both the opulence and refinement that characterized clothing during this period. While its creator remains anonymous, their legacy lives on through this exceptional work of art.

Whether admired for its historical significance or appreciated for its artistic value alone, "Collar with Lappets" stands as testament to human creativity and ingenuity—a tangible link between past traditions and present admiration for fine craftsmanship in textiles.
