I have to correct you on this Tamara.
In 1905 you copuld hardly speak of a Palestine it was part of the Othoman
Empire, British rule came into existance only in 1917 when the Turks were
defeated by General Allenby.
I didn't see the lace with High Holydays etc there was little time for that
but I rather suspect that it has not originated in this area. The people
who came to live here at that time were usually idealist who came from
Russia and Poland .
Anyway I guess it was a nice try by that dealer. I own some very old lace
which my grandmother used to make at that dates to the beginning of the
20th century.

They'd have had to, since Israel as an independent country (and using
that name) is under 60 yrs old... In 1905 - the earliest date for the
lace to be judged "antique" there was no Israel - there was Palestine,
under British administration.
