Antiqua — Pizzi e Ricami d’Epoca
Antiqua is a specialist dealer in antique lace and embroidery in Lugo, a historic walled town in Emilia-Romagna with a centuries-old tradition of fine textile craftsmanship.
About
The gallery presents an extensive exhibition of period lace and embroidery — needle lace, bobbin lace, broderie anglaise, and hand-embroidered linens — gathered from across Italy and Europe. Pieces range from domestic trousseau textiles to ecclesiastical embroidery, offering collectors, restorers, and textile enthusiasts rare finds in excellent condition. The collection also serves as a reference point for researchers interested in the material culture of Italian domestic life.
Location
Lugo, in the province of Ravenna, is encircled by a well-preserved Renaissance-era fortress and maintains a lively historic centre anchored by the Pavaglione arcade. The town’s market tradition stretches back to the medieval period, and its position in the textile-producing Po plain made it a natural hub for fine fabric trades.
