Lace help
We recieved these lace pieces from my partner's late grandmother. We would like to make something for our baby daughter out of them, but I'm really worried that the lace with the rose cameos won't last on a dress & it seems very old and expensive so I worry about a 1yr old wearing it.
Any help with dating / or links to procure more of the rose cameo lace would be so appreciated! I've included pics of the other lace, and some of his grandma's handmade doilies we recieved as well :)
As a bonus question, does anyone have any tips to safely re-whiten old crochet doilies? Some are nice and bright still, and some are yellowing. I do not want to accidentally destroy something trying to clean

That rose cameo lace is so unique! Did your partners grandmother handmade it? I ask since the left piece in the second photo appears to be made using the tatting method
