Chapes, Lace, 3mm, pkg of 12

Conical copper alloy "chapes" to cover the feasings on your points for ease in threading through eyelets. "Feasings" are the frayed ends of point cord. Suitable for clothing points or arming points (Gwen made these tri-coloured arming points using chapes)

Perfect for those who wish to make your own points but not make the chapes- you supply the cord, just glue the chapes on, or drill and rivet.

Copied exactly from an original in our collection, and documented in the Museum of London's "Dress Accessories" book.

Sized for regular sized laces and points.

1-1/2" (40mm) long, 1/8" (3mm) diameter. Copper alloy.
