As some of the other posts have implied, the Jugendstil movement combines elements of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau. The Arts and Crafts movement was earlier than Art Nouveau (its most famous English exponent was William Morris) and has a less coherent visual "look", although its principles had a large influence on the development of Art Nouveau.
There was an article about Dagobert Peche's lace design in Lace Magazine International, issue 47 (fall of '98), Devon. Also, there is a marvelous portfolio of lace designs from Eastern Europe published in 1926, with many Peche designs as well as other laces incorporating Art Deco themes. Art Deco, being more geometric than Art Nouveau, was much easier to interpret in bobbin lace, especially the simpler, coarser styles of lace like torchon. It's amazing how sophisticated a pattern can be made in very simple lace techniques! My (incomplete, and somewhat watermarked) copy of the portfolio came from an english bookseller via eBay, but there may be other copies available from online used bookstores. Sue.
