The Richelieu Collection: Fine Cutwork Lace
Richelieu embroidery — cutwork with bars — is a refined form of cutwork lace with origins in Italy and France, perfected by Madeira’s embroiderers in the 20th century to the point that it’s often known as “Madeira lace.” Among the most demanding embroidery techniques, Richelieu work reveals extraordinary precision and artistry. A particular favorite of ours, these pieces are distinctive, architectural and quite beautiful.
