It's machine lace. There's a statement in Elizabeth Kurella's book that says that Alencon is a name greatly used by the machine lace companies even though the lace is not like real Alencon. This is large and lovely, but not handmade. The seller is very careful to not specify. She only says it is antique and French. And it's the third time she's tried to sell it.

There is an impressive and large piece of lace on eBay currently, and it is described as Alencon. It is item number 360052393378. I know "next-to-nothing" about Alencon. But these pictures are extremely detailed and the overall design is lovely. Could someone who knows this lace kindly comment on this for us? Thank you very much!!
