Hello all,
I have been looking at the book Carolina mentions, and what she calls
flowers are kind of dots or round motifs, with pairs entering and
going out... And these round motifs are repeated all through the lace.
At a first sight, I couldn't see anything repeated on the lace, and I

The thought of using laminator film or the acetate sheet used for the front

reminded me of other things we see another use for , such as the wire spiral
from note books to keep bobbins secure on the pillow, and a battery
I have replied privately to Avital, sending her the picture with the

BIG THANK YOU
I learned a lot and I'll cary your answers to my literature group next week.
Of the first sight I took it for very early Flemish, because I have a small
sort of collar which look very similar. And there are a sort of bolletjes or
snowflakes.
Than I asked Carolina to sent me her photo which she did immediately. No I am
unsure. It is a very uncommon piece. I see very
When I looked at the piece I also saw the motifs which Gertrude Whiting called
'trentino ground. But, same as you, I have never seen anything else which
mentions that (except Kathe Kliot who is obviously copying Gertrude Whiting).
I have never seen that in any actual piece of lace, until this one
I have long thought that freehand lace, early Binche/Val and Milanese all have
some elements in common. Freehand lace and Milanese tape decorations are
obvious as possible cousins. Once Binche/Val gets to 1710 to 1720
considerable regularity in grounds, including snowballs and snowflakes, is
