Historically "galloon" refers to metal thread lace or braid, as used on
military uniforms or 18th century "laced" coats.Here's the Wikipedia
definition: Galloon is a decorative woven trim sometimes in the form of a
braid and commonly made of metallic gold or silver thread, lace, or
embroidery. Galloon is used in the trim of military and police uniforms,
ecclesiastical garments, and as trim on textiles, drapery, and upholstered
furniture.
Modern lace manufacturers seem to be using it more loosely, for any sort of
double-edged strip lace, scallopped or straight.  Google turned up several of
them.  Bridget, on a foggy evening in Pinner
