Thanks for the chance of looking at the polychrome piece. If you are
not interested in the auction, you can look at a full set of the lace
here, the first bid is $100 and the minimum has not been met.

Jesurum lace is, indeed, rarely seen these days and the piece is
beautiful. I've had a soft spot for Jesurum ever since I first saw it
(photos) because it's bobbin lace, it's polychrome and it's
3-dimensional -- all my favourite things. The only non-favourite thing
about it is the numbers of bobbins used -- you add and take out
constantly.
Beth's pointing us to the E-bay site is timely vis the recent questions
about lace in Venice. Jesurum still has a shop in Venice, or did, a
year ago:
Merceria del Capitello, San Marco 4856
tel : +39 041 520 60 85
I doubt the lace sold there would still be of the quality it had been
over a 100 yrs ago but they might have something interesting. I was
unable to find their website, though; apparently they used to have one,
but it had not been updated since '06. So, perhaps, the store is gone
too.
