Hi All,
I am always amazed at the knowledge and various collections and
interests of members of arachne.
This time I am asking if anyone has a collection of paintings
(Presumably photos of!) antique lace makers.
The continentals seems to have a number of excellent paintings but my
searches have found very few paintings of English lace makers.
If this happens to be your thing can you please drop me a line and I can
share my aims for this request with you.
One other thing... (of course a bobbin thing!) I have volunteered to
help a friend who has a special interest in hand carved lace making
bobbins (Excluding the Honiton variety) and together we are looking
for hand carved bobbins that have a DATE carved in them?
We are are not looking for the oldest, just old hand carved bobbins with
a date in the carving!
Can you help us please?
