[lace] Binche on eBay
I have followed, with great interest, an auction on eBay for a beautiful piece of Binche lace which appeared to be a relatively recent piece. The auction ended today, with the handkerchief selling for nearly $500. As someone who has made several Binche handkerchief edgings (although none as stunning as this one...) I must say that while the price paid was high, the wages earned by the lacemaker were still appallingly low. Still, I am encouraged by the fact that the lace we make is becoming more valued! While I suspect that a lacemaker has bought this piece (I was tempted !), it is clear that our own valuation of our work helps drive up the market!! eBay ID number... 370041543780 Clay -- Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm putting up some items from my lace collection and some lace books (see 130215083614 for example) if anyone is interested. Will take me a few days to get everything up.

RE: [lace] Binche on eBay
It looked familiar to me too, so I got out my copy of Anne Marie Verbeke's Binche Syllabus III. The Ebay edging has the hart from 't Herte, pattern 7, and the center dogs and corners of De Beeste of pattern 6. I've never seen the Ebay edging before. The lacemaking was well done.

Now why don't we flood the market with that design ? :) Got a spare 3 months?
