I found the remark, that âpoint de raccrocâ, which to my knowledge is the stitch to join point ground strips, was invented around 1780 by a worker of Vaux sur Aure. (âDentelle de Normandie / Normandy Laceâ by Florence Quinette). The booklet âTønder Kniplingerâ by Meta Tønder gives 1800 - 1850 as production date for danish point ground lace. âA History of Hand-Made Laceâ by M.F. Jackson claims that lace using fond simple, was already made in Lille as early as 1582.
