Avital That is a fascinating piece lace. I think it is cut from a larger piece (there appears to be no clear edge). Two possibilities come to mind. The first is turn of the century -- c 1900 - Binche or point de Fee (one could also call it revival era Bnche--same thing). Some of those had amorphous patterns and the parts that are clearly cloth stitch have edges similar to that found in revival Binche. The other possibility is 16th century, some of which had amorphous patterns. But I think that unlikely.
Thanks for telling us about it and posting photos. Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com
