I thought I had seen one painting with black lace ruff but I can't seem to recall the country. ****************** I've seen a black ruff somewhere too. But I'm thinking it was a theatrical character.... like a Comedia character....and later than when ruffs were fashionable. It seems likely SOMEONE wore an all black ruff. Sounds like something they'd embrace on the Iberian peninsula but since ruffs evolve from the chemise or shirt, I would surmise it would be a late development when the ruff had become a complete entity in and of itself (rather than being thought of as just an extension of a chemise) But I'm guessing here. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
