Master Work of Embroidery

Base of a bonnet

	Most of these works come from the Alfred Lescure (1862-1913) collection. He owned one of the finest collections of lace ever assembled
	Embroidered bonnets are a very old tradition in France in the line of the " Butterfly Henin " of the Medieval Period.
	Motifs are almost always inspired by the local flowers: roses, eglantine, cornflowers, carnation, blindweed, daisy.
