Victorian–Edwardian Mourning Accessories Collection – Chantilly Lace Shawl (70x280cm), Silk Parasol (68x66cm), Black Lace Shawl (180x29cm) & Silk Drawstring Bag (27cm long) – c. 1890–1915 A distinguished collection of late Victorian to early Edwardian mourning accessories, dating from approximately 1890 to 1915, centred around an exceptional Chantilly lace evening shawl, one of the most highly regarded lace types of the period. The ensemble reflects the elegance and refinement of formal black attire worn for mourning and evening occasions at the turn of the 20th century. The principal piece is a large black Chantilly lace shawl, finely worked in silk thread on a delicate net ground, decorated with flowing floral and foliate motifs arranged in vertical panels. The lace displays the characteristic lightness, clarity of pattern, and graceful drape associated with Chantilly production, making it both visually striking and technically refined. Accompanying the shawl is an elegant black silk mourning parasol with a deeply pleated ruffled edge, fitted with an ebony handle accented with bone details, exemplifying the quality and restraint of late Victorian accessories. The collection further includes a smaller coordinating black lace shawl suitable for shoulder wear, and a matching black silk drawstring bag woven in a subtle herringbone pattern, originally intended for carrying personal items. All pieces show light, age-appropriate wear consistent with careful use and age. No major damage is noted. Please refer to the photographs for detailed views of the lacework, parasol, and accessories. A cohesive and evocative mourning ensemble, with the Chantilly lace shawl as its focal point, ideal for collectors of antique lace, historic fashion, theatrical costume, or refined display.
