Five Chebka lace entre-deux, North Africa,... - Lot 415 - Coutau-Bégarie
Five Chebka lace entre-deux, North Africa, 1st half of the 20th century. Five entre-deux, three long borders in mint condition, one with two fine needlepoint selvedges and one on its original paper still held together by the two selvedge seams (good condition) two disassembled borders from a garment (good overall condition, a few small accidents) Chebka lace is a needle-knotted stitch originating in North Africa, first practiced in Tunisia in the form of entre-deux by each woman to decorate her traditional clothes, then the technique developed in Algeria and Morocco under the impetus of missionary sisters. These entre-deux with geometric patterns were made directly between two strips of fabric and then between two thin borders of support that served as edges and were fixed on a cushion or a strip of paper. Initially carried out with the needle these fine selvedges were later replaced by mechanical laces or by a simple seam on the paper. The French protectorate allowed the development of this technique which found an important outlet thanks to the French market throughout the 1st half of the XXth century. Chebka lace creations adapted to this market by producing pieces such as collars, bibs or doilies.
