What a special little piece. I wasn't sure if this was bobbin lace or tatting and a wonderful fellow Etsy user who teaches tatting reached out to me and confirmed this to be bobbin lace. I just love the Etsy community!

This Bohemian handmade bobbin lace applique on a brown linen background of the sweetest little girl with a flower is an adorable little piece of folk art from Europe. It was likely made between 1950 and 1970.

The frame is creamy white plastic with a clever fold back system as described on the back label (For Framing Pull both sides outwards and turn them backwards). The label also indicates the piece came from Genossenschaft Hobel Neumarkt 8 8001 Zurich. My research tells me The Hobel Cooperative was founded in 1945 as a carpentry shop and is a place for handcrafted goods. I presume that this piece was purchased there while on a European vacation and was likely part of a small artistic section in the shop. (I don't know for certain - this is just my deduction from years of Estate sales and vintage goods research!)

Wouldn't she be the perfect little piece for a daughter or grand daughter's bedroom? Or, how about a gift to a flower girl. There's something so unique and charming about this piece and I am certain it would accent so many decorating styles with ease.

The frame is plastic and the piece is behind glass. The lace, fabric and paper mat background seem to be in excellent, vintage condition.

One-of-a-Kind for sure!
