It would seem to me that as long as lace was a luxury item (which it was
until machine lace caused it to fall out of fashion...) the people who
could afford good lace would only want the latest fashion, therefore,
Regency lace would not have been as desirable in the later years of the
19th
as Jacobean, Tudor or Elizabethan. (The lace we
make in the UK today could be termed Elizabethan, but it would include
a much wider range of designs than the lace made in the days of
