That is very unusual. Usually we Maltese work a flower motif where the
tallies would be crossed in the centre. It would be more likely to have a
row of flower motifs, âsunâ motifs or Maltese crosses on one band that
would be joined to another band of motifs or ground stitches.

Cluny, or its precursor Genoese are possibilities. If you are a member of
laceioli you could post the photo there, and then you could get some real
answers.

I should have added that these joinings are different than what Sharon was
describing.

Hi,
I have quite a collection of antique Maltese lace and several pieces have
the seam between strips where a multi tally crossing would normally be. I
have a collar that has 8 tally 'flowers', with 4 tallies on each edge of 2
strips and you can see the sewing thread joining them to make the full
That would definitely not be traditional Maltese.

Hi Sharon,
Do you have a picture? I think Le Puy and Maltese laces use that technique
for wide laces. The lace is made in strips and then sewn together, and
sometimes the join is where there would be tally crossing.

I have a piece of vintage lace and have now been shown 2 more examples where
there are 6 or 8 leaf tallies crossing in a peculiar way. To begin with the
tallies are long and skinny, where they join in the middle it appears that
each half of either the 6 or 8 was made separately and sewn together
