Cravat End

Textiles

1730-50

Flanders, Brussels

Formal occasions required lace accessories for men as well as for women. These cravat ends would have been attached to a long rectangle of plain linen that was tied around the neck and knotted in the front to display the decorative lace ends. Only these ends have survived.
