Recently I bought an english book, History of Lace, published in 1979 by Margaret Simeon with illustrations from her own lace collection. Judging by the photographs she had quite a good collection of lace; does anyone on the list know what has happened to it since 1979?
With great curiosity, Sue.
As far as I know the whole collection has been auctioned, by her heir, in 1992 somewhere in England. A little white tag was attached on each of the pieces, and in her handwriting the tag mentioned the kind of lace and period.
She had indeed a fascinating collection of lace and her book is still one of the best in this category. I always wonder what happens with those unique collections, are they always scattered all over the world ?
