I'm wondering if it might be a machine made lace. I think some had the gimp outline sewn in by hand later.

On another note. I have encountered a lace in the Met collection which is a point ground without any gimp. https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metmus eum.org%2Fart%2Fcollection%2Fsearch%2F214651&data=05%7C01%7C%7Ce2a52f80d9904d 668cdc08db046c2155%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C6381086346810 88337%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1 haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=n%2B9iOm3Q1oXVfid5EGhAyUpbVZbioL6GY Euo37jCmus%3D&reserved=0 Please note, the picture enlarges. The information cites Lille or Arras as the origin of the lace. But, Lille lace has a gimp. Actually, as far as I can discover, all point grounds tend to have gimps since it helps to even out the design area. In fact, the effect of this lace is that the design area looks a bit rough. The information also says early 19th century. Is this some experimental lace? Or is there a genre of point ground without a gimp that I am simply not recalling? Help!
