[lace] Tape Lace-Annette Meldrum
I was looking at the sample provided by Nathalie and wondered if it were Borris Lace, an Irish needlelace that Annette Meldrum wrote a book about. Maybe she could comment.

[lace] tape lace
Hello What are the distinguishing features of Borris lace, Branscombe, Battenberg and princesse? The last one I can usually recognize. But I am no expert on the laces made with a machine made tape. I know Battenberg is usually considered quite crude. Are there other styles of mixed tape lace that I haven't mentioned?

RE: [lace] Borris Tape Lace-Annette Meldrum
Hi all. It is similar to Borris Tape lace but it does look a little stiff! Borris lace is usually more flowing in design but otherwise the fillings are reflective and square mesh ground is characteristic. The Point de Venice edging is also characteristic. As it has no bars with picots it is not possible to definitively classify it as Branscombe or Borris. As mentioned in the previous email the picots can often determine the place of origin and the technique. I think that Branscombe almost always included picoted bars and the picots are large (called nibs). In my book on Borris Lace I have a table which shows the similarities and differences between Branscombe and Borris laces as they are very similar in some aspects but poles apart in others. The picots are the defining difference. Wouldn't it be nice to know more about the maker, what it was made for and for whom? What a shame we don't keep better records of what we make and why. We are no better at doing this than previous generations. Thanks for sharing Nathalie. I have not found any new examples of Borris lace for ages. It must be out there but still hiding?

RE: [lace] RE: Tape lace
I agree with Jane Partridge. The picots look right as well. A similar lace constructed of machine-made tapes with needle-lace fillings was made in France, but their picots were different.

Does anyone knows this type of tape lace? It is part of a 19th century christening veil.

Sorry forgot to add that I was referring to the edge picots. Joepie.

Re: [lace] RE: Tape lace
Although it has some nice needlelace fillings I donât think itâs from Branscombe. My understanding of Branscombe lace is that it always includes the little nibs on the bars and sometimes around the edge. Nibs are a type of picot made by working buttonhole stitches over a loop of thread.
