Antique handmade filet lace fragment featuring a central IHS, Chalice and Cross Motifs

A beautiful piece of religious lace, originally part of a larger textile. It could be reused for church textiles, liturgical vestments, antique textile restoration or other sewing projects.

Condition:

Excellent antique condition, with no holes or stains. This is a cut section from a larger piece.

Care Instructions:

- If washing at home: Hand wash separately in cold or lukewarm water with a mild soap.

- Avoid: Bleach, strong detergents, wringing, or tumble drying — these damage linen fibers and lace.

- Drying: Lay flat on a towel or line dry in the shade (avoid direct sun, which weakens fibers).

- Ironing: Use medium heat while the fabric is still slightly damp, with a pressing cloth if needed to protect the lace.
