About this work

Needle lace cravat end with a delicate all-over floral design and figures, including a figure dressed as a warrior, wearing a helmet in form of a double-headed eagle, standing on a trophée flanked by kneeling warriors; the scene surmounted by a royal crown and surrounded by dolphins, winged putti, warrior figures and foliated sprays.
