Description

This vintage bobbin lace rooster is nice to add to your farm-styled house.

It's a small textile lace art, but it's surely fun to watch. Would look great on a farm, or farm-styled decor, maybe even for a farm-based wedding? Nellie being the daughter of a farmer, was used to having roosters around when she was a kid. This Turnhouts lace pattern appealed to her quite early in her learning process, but she wanted to feel a bit more confident when she started to work on it.

It is made from beige/white linens and some contrast wires with a golden look. They made the process of creating this lace even harder, because gold wire is somewhat stiffer and harder to utilise. She doesn't remember how many bobbin lace wooden pins were used, if she was asked to guess, she would say around 50. The rooster is quite small, please take a good look at the measurements and, if needed, recalculate them to inches or thumbs.

If you have any aditional questions on this piece, feel to ask. For instance, if you want to combine this rooster with another bird or the swan: just ask and we'll try to photograph it as soon as we're visiting Nellie.
We're a European (dutch) based family, so our timezone might be slightly different from yours - and we could respond on a rather unusual time. As it has been in the closet for so long, it's not possible to make any adjustments or add Personalization.

Some things to take into consideration:
All measurements are in cm's and converted.
The rulers in the pictures use centimeters or millimeters. 1 cm = 10 mm = 0,393700787 inch.

These handmade products are the results of Nellies training and bobbin lace lessons. Some of them are over 40 years old and have some wear and tear. For adding some vintage look (mid 20th century) to your wedding or a room. Because the products are handmade, there might be some mistakes while making the lace. If Nellie noticed it on time, she would fix it. If not, she will just keep pointing out where she went sloppy (because one of us was having a school-emergency) or made a mistake (obviously not her fault, but originated in some kind of drama in her big family)

All the artist impressions are just that: an impression how to use these products. Feel to ask any questions or extra pictures.

If you want to order multiple products, ask for a 'how do they look together' picture.

Products are shipped in a small-sized box, with some re-used cardboard. The bobbin lace is not attached to the paper, so it could be wringled if your post-service-person really likes to swing those boxes I ship using dutch Postnl, with a track and trace. Flying it across an ocean might cost some time.

Are you really looking for the quickest way to get it, just contact us and we will see what kind of shipping company can deliver at what costs.
