[lace] Bowes Museum Lace
A friend was ordering one of the Bowes Museum Lace Catalogues Fine Fashionable 'Lace from the Blackborne Collection,' and ordered another one for me, which I collected at Lace Day on Saturday. What a Feast for the Eyes! How lucky some of you are, to be able to go and see all this beautiful lace. However, I shall just sit back and drool over all those lovely photos!!! :) What a wonderful collection - and I believe it is only part of what was in the original collection. I see some of the pieces that they had are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Hmmm! Another good reason to get there one day !! :) Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz. where it is a glorious early autum day, with it being sunny and pleasantly warm.

RE: [lace] Bowes Museum Lace
I was lucky enough to see this exhibition on a recent trip to England. It is, bar none, the finest lace exhibit that I've ever seen. It was even more meaningful because I got to go with three of my best lace friends so there was someone else along to appreciate the fine displays. Extraordinary!!! Not only the quantity of the lace, but the exceptional quality.

I don't know the Bowes Museum personally, but have seen some publicity for their current exhibition (until 18 April 2004). Wedding Belles - two centuries of bridal gowns. From the brochure, these appear to be positively dripping with lace!

RE: [lace] Bowes Museum
Hi, We visited Bowes Museum last March, and I went to the web site because I must say the lace, as a collection, certainly didn't jump out at us. Obviously would have helped to know what is available before the visit! Anyway, on the web site is the description of (among hundred of items with lace) a handkerchief bordered in lace. This is how the description reads: Linen handkerchief with Meander lace border like Honiton but home made. What is Meander lace?? The web site doesn't give a number, so I can't direct you to this particular item. I searched by selecting catagories from their drop down menus, and happened upon a selection with quite a few handkerchiefs. I suspect whoever cataloged these didn't know a whole lot about lace.

I also went to the web-site and searched lace in collections and got 69 hits. If in fact everything is on the website (not the case at the Met.) it is not a very impressive collection. My own personal collection is better and I am not a collector who spends that much money on it. I am not sure I would go out of my way to go to Bowes for the purpose of seeing lace. Devon who perhaps has had her judgment warped by seeing the really fine collections at the Met and Cooper-Hewitt - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
