Handmade Needle Lace Flower Medallion chunky vase and while this little skier

and while this little skier is not especially unique

it is signed Beveridge N

so the first page ("Resignation" shows age toning

My guess is that it dates from the late 19th century or so

from "Bringing Up Father" an American comic strip created by cartoonist George McManus

Handmade Needle Lace Flower Medallion chunky vase and while this little skierI find handmade lace a small miracle, and find it impossible not to rescue pieces like this when I come across them what labor and patience went into all of those tiny stitches! Though I have found this sort of lace called Belgian, a little further research has led me to understand the origins of the technique to be, I think, Venetian. The fineness of this example makes me think it has a good bit of age to it, but I am not an expert. 7" in diameter
