I assumed grapefruit was a similar repellent for dogs (as per my previous post

Yep, reticella!
I love this kind of lace. Your picture is good enough that you could
simply lift the pattern off. If you do I recommend sketching it out on a
graph paper before putting it to something to work on.
Good luck! And thanks for sharing

One more thing I could say. At that time period Genoa was making bobbin lace,
similar in style to reticello. And some of those leaf shapes and triangles in

would expect 2 ridges. But for bobbin lace one would expect 3

I, too, would call that gorgeous lace Reticella.
On first inspection - as the size it came up first , I thought the central
panel on the Ruff was the same as on the dress, but when enlarged I could
see that the central panels are different, but the edges appear to be the
same.

You explain things SO well, Lorelei.
I think we usually use Reticella as a generic term meaning lace in that
geometric style. I know I do, anyway. This may be a bit sloppy, but most

Excellent to bring this up. This is a painterly trick, 'painting negative

is probably easier to paint the holes, than to try to
