But all the info booklet says is that the lace is 17th century; how much of it was of the 3rd decade of that century is unclear, but most (if not all) of the lace looks to be somewhat later (end of the century, rather than beginning).
Some of the laces in "Caroluskantjes" are marked as to whether they're from the 1st half of the 17th century (1/2 17de eeuw) or the 2nd half of the century (2/2 17de eeuw). Not all, but some, in particular pattern #26 and #27 which show slightly deeper scallops. Also some of the plaited laces are from the 1st half of the century.
For a 1630s recreation, though, I'd be more inclined to go with the reticella (embroidered cutwork) laces, perhaps with a simple plaited bobbin lace edge. I believe the original post didn't specify that the lace had to be handmade, and in the 1980s, when the deep pointed laces had some popularity, there were some reasonable machine imitations made. Perhaps some stores still have this type of trim in stock.
