Leopold Iklé was born into a family of textile manufacturers in Hamburg in 1838. He worked as a travelling salesman from the age of 15 for the family firm of Iklé Freres which specialised in making machine laces, and had branches in St. Gallen, Paris, London, Berlin, Vienna and New York. He was always a serious student and collector of historic textiles, and his collection, which began life housed in a box in his office, eventually filled his home in St. Gallen. In 1904 he donated a substantial part of it to the Textile Museum in St. Gallen. After his death in 1922, another portion of the collection was auctioned in Zürich. The remainder passed to his sons, and further pieces from the Iklé Collection were sold by members of the family at Christie's in 1989 and 2007. A rare early chalice veil, in very good condition; the delicate fabric is robust, and the natural dyes are still fresh, the pink cochineal dye remarkably so. For a not dissimilar piece see a sampler in the V&A collections which was made by Jane Bostocke in 1598 (T.190-1960).
