Antique Doily, Bobbin Lace, Round, Handmade, Diameter 56cm

Regarding your request for a price reduction, I have already sold an identical item for ¥39,000 to someone who greatly admired it. Therefore, for reasons of fairness, I cannot lower the price further. I will offer it to you for ¥39,000.

This is truly breathtaking.
Please take a look.
You probably won't find anything like this again.
If you miss this, you'll likely never encounter an item of this caliber again.
I had two of these, but this is the last one.

The owner of a tailoring shop in Italy, which creates items favored by global celebrities, once said:
If a Japanese person were to make the same thing with true dedication, it would be impossible to replicate. Please don't try to copy it.

The exquisite lace used in this piece is mostly from Europe, such as France and Belgium.
However, intricate work requiring great skill, like Aomori's Kogin-zashi embroidery and Ise-katagami stencils, is a particular strength of us Japanese.
And here we have a masterpiece: a vintage bobbin lace doily, meticulously crafted by a Japanese woman.

With a diameter of 56cm, it is truly a sight to behold.
When placed on a dark background, the beauty of the large, circular lace doily that emerges made my heart leap with joy.
I have been pursuing Swatow lace for about 40 years, and this piece has a similar artisanal finesse.
I understand some of you may be knowledgeable about this.
However, the technique, skill, era, and history are irrelevant here.
This is simply a beautiful object, created by a woman who poured her heart and time into every thread.
Despite its simplicity, it is a collector's item that you can admire endlessly. It is a peerless piece, with no other existing examples except for sister pieces made by the same woman.

I want you to see it.
If there is an object that can satisfy the desire to acquire, I believe this is it.
