[Antique Scroll Series] Heavy Battenburg Style Tape Embroidery Lace | Vintage Boho Bridal

Overview Step back in time with this magnificent tribute to classic Battenburg lace. Distinct from delicate tulle embroideries, this fabric utilizes a specialized "Tape Embroidery" technique, where thick, flat threads are guided to create bold, swirling scrolls and four-petal florals. The result is a fabric that is heavy, structured, and rich with a sculptural, high-relief texture. It is the ultimate choice for creating vintage royal bridal gowns, structured bohemian jackets, or couture pieces that demand a dramatic, historical presence.

Design Inspiration Inspired by 19th-century Victorian handmade tape lace and the intricate ironwork scrolls of Baroque architecture. The designer aimed to capture "the complex beauty of heritage," using continuous, bold lines to simulate enduring vitality. The interplay of massive swirls and structured florals creates a look that is both majestic and organically wild.

Craftsmanship Details

• Tape Embroidery Technique: Unlike standard fine stitching, this fabric uses a flat, ribbon-like cord to outline the motifs. This creates a significantly raised surface that is tactile and robust.

• Spider-Mesh Connections: The motifs are interconnected by a coarse, spider-web-like mesh (brides), ensuring durability while maintaining a distinct openwork aesthetic.

• Structural Volume: Due to the weight of the embroidery, the fabric holds its own shape incredibly well, ideal for creating voluminous A-line or bell silhouettes without the need for heavy crinolines.

Available Colors

• Vintage Cotton White: This is the colorway featured in the image. It is not a shiny, optical white, but a matte, natural off-white that mimics the look of cotton thread. The defining characteristic of this shade is its "Handcrafted Warmth" and "Matte Luxury." It does not reflect light cheaply; instead, the dense texture absorbs light to reveal depth and dimension, much like an heirloom textile found in a museum. It is perfect for designers seeking an "Old Money" or "Rustic Vintage" aesthetic, offering a look that feels grounded, pure, and substantial.
