Twisted metal wire lace-work collar rebato
rif. 23049Unknown date and place French/Spanish. Carefully stitched to a cloth covered mounting board. Overall excellent but with some superficial darkening in small areas because of hair oil residue. Twisted metal-wire collar measuring appx. 60 x 47.5 cm. A complex finely woven twisted metal wire lace-work collar of indeterminate age and origin. The lace-work for want of a better descriptive term is minutely detailed and modelled after the examples from 16th century continental textile pattern books. It is decorated with elaborate three dimensional "rosettes" in a field of roundels varying in size and gauge of the wire utilized. Rebatos or collars included in early 17th century or late 16th century portraits of women seem close in style to the one offered here but the twisted wrapped wire construction argues for a later period . It was apparently worn at some time and then removed from the garment and preserved. See F Speelberg Met. Museum of Art Bulletin Fall 2015 Fashion & Virtue. hardcover books
