Le Puy border

5.5 x ~101"
Excellent condition. A few very small folds along the outer border.
Working thread, 2ply S, single Z, 0.368 mm average diameter. Might be cotton - need the other dynolite.
Gimp: might be cotton...  I think it's a double thread, 2-2ply S, single Z, plyed Z. Hard to tell the thread, might be silk. Check this with better scope.

Perhaps Le Puy, due to the use of a point ground, but this is uncertain. This collar resembles the Le_Puy_white_border_1, but this one has raised tallies and woven leaves. Flower petals are done in half stitch, while the border is all whole stitch. Interesting 6-pointed filling.  Both examples have similar plaited borders, with a few picoted plaits.
