Re: [lace] Re: spangled lace
Congratulations on your auction find. Did you get any information from the seller on how they came into possession of it? I’d love to know about it’s journey through time.

[lace] Re: spangled lace
Hi everybody, I received an answer from Gil Dye, and she says it is very probably early 1600's She said it looks a lot like some metal lace on a mantle dated reliably to 1620, and that the more complex laces were early 1600s rather than late 1500s, although she didn't completely rule out the latter. I'm hoping to reconstruct it. I'm making some spangles (slowly -- it is laborious! but I think they are looking pretty good), and I have some gold thread that should work. We'll see how that goes... Thanks to everyone for Gil Dye's email. I was so happy to hear from her. Nancy Ashford, Connecticut, USA On Tue, Jun 1, 2021 at 4:56 PM N.A.

Re: [lace] spangled lace
I would agree. Contact Gil Dye who is very knowledgeable about this type of lace. She has written several books on the subject. She also has a website, Maureen East Yorkshire UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
