I just posted an identification question on the Laceioli.ning site with photos. Here is the link. This piece says it is Flemish, Southern Netherlands, ca. 1800. Fond de mariage; outlined with heavy thread suggestive of Mechlin; It is 2 1/2 inches wide. I don't feel that calling it Mechlin is necessarily correct. But, I don't know how to identify it so that someone looking for it would find it. Does this piece ring a bell with anyone? Does it fit into any tradition or pattern apart from simply Flemish? Devon
