I clicked on a couple of the Handmade bobbin laces from the city of Chantilly, France. http://www.housefabric.com/Chantilly-Lace-C285.aspx
The descriptions of two only asserted that they are "made in France"; or are "original Chantilly lace made in France". But for a third, "Please Note; This lace is produced on true Chantilly Lace Lever looms. Pieces are 3.3 yards." This is a definition of 'hand made'?

Imagine my surprise when I discovered "Handmade bobbin lace from the city of Chantilly France"! Judging from the pictures, some of it is awful, some not bad (but expensive), and I would wager that it is all machine made.... and possibly hand-finished. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
