Was it this piece? http://www.statemuseum.arizona.edu/coll/peris2.shtml I love the obvious care and attention that went into its making. The caption says this is older than 1800's, though, so maybe not: "Dates: ca. AD 1300-1450". In any case, a lacey enough textile to bring to the attention of the list.
