Gorgeous apparel




The work of professional female lace-makers from Genoa was highly sought-after in the seventeenth century throughout Europe. The ornately worked cuffs and the edgings displayed here are reminders of the textile layering used in the finest fashions of the period, as seen in the painting of Princess Elizabeth hanging nearby.
