Subject : [lace] Chantilly-Bayeux

Can any one of you knowledgeable lacemakers tell me what the difference 
between Chantilly Lace and Bayeux lace is. From what I have read they are 
very similar but yet there has to be a difference, otherwise we wouldn't 
call each by its name.

well to my knowledge :
Chantilly is made of very fine black silk ( used to be organzine .. a much twisted 
silk which gave it  a matte finish )
Bayeux is made with  a very fine cotton thread and there are both grid and cloth 
stitch in the pattern . there are only grids in Chantilly .

so a cotton black lace with cloth stitch in the pattern is Bayeux .... not Chantilly 
.....
