Some years ago, the late Gabrielle Pond sold her lace collection at
Sotherby's (I think).
Afterwards, she told me she was So pleased that most of her collection went
to Collectors not dealers, as the collectors would leave the pieces whole,
but the dealers would cut them up into lengths and sell the pieces, there by
getting more money for them.
I had not heard of this being done, and was appalled!! How could you cut
up lace like that?!
She had a wonderful collection, and the tralk she gave one day, with her
lace there to be looked at was marvellous. she had so much knowledge, and
was so generous with it. We miss her.
