Aurelia,
Have you tried looking in Ricci's "Old Italian Lace?" I don't have either
book in front of me, but Ricci and Tebbs were contemporaries, I believe. You
will find Old Italian Lace (volumes I and II) on the professors site. I know
much of the information came from a slightly earlier book, "Seven Centuries of
Lace." The second volume of Ricci begins with a bit of history and then
launches into the first section which is about lace from Venice. I don't own
Tebbs so I cannot comment on whether or not the laces are similar.

Subject: [lace] "Venetian" lace
Dear spiders —— Help! I have been reading an ancient book, Tebbs' "Art of
Bobbin Lace."
It's as different as can be from the contemporary publications that we use
nowadays.
Reading along in it, I came to a chapter on "Venetian Lace." No explanation
given as to
what it is. I looked about in all my other books, nobody else has anything to
say about
"Venetian" lace. If it could have been a reference to needle lace, it wouldn't
have
been a problem, but the book is only about bobbin lace. Does anybody have any
idea as
to what Venetian lace might be?
