[lace] lace at the Cleveland Museum of Art-Schiff Collection

[Dmt11home]

The Cleveland Museum of Art has put 1165 lace records online. For some  
reason, a simple search of the word "lace" does not bring them up, although  
"bobbin" brings up all the bobbin lace. This collection includes 1/3 of the  
legendary Ida Schiff Collection which was used in Old Italian Lace by Elisa  
Ricci. All the accession numbers beginning in 1920 are most likely Ida 
Schiff  pieces. The Schiff Collection included very old laces, going back to 
the  
17th and possibly the 16th century. Here is a link that should take you to  
both the needle and bobbin lace in the Cleveland Museum. Hooray for  
Cleveland!
