Well, if you look at Joseph Seguin’s La Dentelle (avaiable on the Arizona site) Plate XXXVI you might call it Guipure Façon Angleterre, or Guipure Anglaise.They both have the same coiled ground and one of them also has cucumber tallies.
Allhallows Museum Honiton has two flounces with this coiled ground which Santina Levey reckoned were English therefore Honiton late 17th C. They are illustrated in John Yallop’s ‘The History of the Honiton Lace Industry’ (the book is his PhD thesis and he was the honorary curator at AllHallows). The Glasgow Museums lace collection also has two pieces with this coiled ground, one of which is very similar to one of the Honiton pieces. Back in 1993 John Yallop told me that the use of the coiled ground is associated with Flanders around 1700 but it may be found at much later dates in Eastern Europe.
