Hello all, There is also a book on this lace, called Dentelle de Mirecourt, from the editorial Didier CARPENTIER, published in 2008, with beautiful patterns and diagrams. Also a short introduction on history. As far as I understand (I only read French, but don't speak it), it says lace in Mirecourt was introduced in the 16th century by the dukes of Lorraine.
In 1981 an association to promote the lace was created I think you can have a quick look to the book here: http://www.ebookdz.com/forum/showthread.php?33172-Dentelle-de-Mirecourt-La-seconde-vie-d-un-cahier-de-dentelli%E8re-du-XIXe-si%E8cle Best wishes.
