Here is a Mirecourt lace piece listed as a collar. I

This looks to me like the corner off something, rather
than a collar. Usually lace made for a collar has the
two front sections matching. This looks like an
edging that has been neatly trimmed between repeats.
What do you think?

Wonder of wonders, the lace ID is right. From the copious pictures,
someone took a piece of Mirecourt and rearranged it to make this
asymmetrical collar. This definitely looks like lace made for
furnishings, but I think the rework is good. Definitely eye-catching.
