I just found a similar pattern of dots, in Danish Net. This is a Torchon

Dear Friends,
I am spending a couple of days preparing an old Toender pricking
which I've had for some years. This is a beautiful edging just over
3" deep and I am told was of lace which belonged to a Comtesse

is about 1" in diameter. It is the dots inside this central area that
I need help with. They are simply arranged in parallel lines like this:
