The collar measures 40 inches long inside the neck, 65 inches long on the outer edging and is 5 inches wide. It is in good as-is condition needing some restoration repairs, has not been cleaned, with several faint age spot stains, with tiny holes and some frayed missing edging along the inside neck (see close-ups). This is truly a rare and exquisite piece of handmade antique lace wearable art!
