Hi Cindy, Yes, I totally agree with you about this seller--she's terrific and offers stellar pieces. I didn't mean to imply anything negative about her. Just that I didn't know why something was called one thing vs another. And the lace is so crisp and in such good condition (only one hole that I'

Hi Ilske, Thanks for your comments. The relative thickness of the thread is part of why I was wondering how certain we could be about the age of the lace. The thread is thinner than it perhaps appears in the pictures, however--the width of the lace is 5 cm, if that helps when viewing the sections.
