I have encountered a piece of Tonder lace dating from about 1800. I donât doubt that it is Tonder of this date because it was identified by an expert. However, I have never seen a piece that looked like this. The design is odd. I guess it is based on a flower basket design. Most Tonder lace is very orderly in appearance, but this one is sort of disorderly looking with stems that donât connect and flowers that seem lop sided. Has anyone ever seen anything comparable to this? What characteristics do you think identify it as Tonder? I have not found any Copenhagen holes in it, although that is by no means a requirement for something to be Tonder. Thoughts?
