Hi Adele Great to hear (read) what lace you decided! Yes, surely there is a way to finagle a Danish connection, perhaps a sister married a Danish Man of Money visiting the area on business and for whom a fancy dress ball was held - the sister and he were introduced and charmed :)
I went back to the older postings and found this from Vibeke: "When we write 1600 tallet, it means 1600 years, so it is 17th century /Jahrhundert etc. In Denmark we used to write 17 Århundrede, but we now write 1600 tallet." Does this help?
After all our recent postings on naming the centuries, I think this is from the right time period, but I just want to check: this is in the section "Empiremoenstre" which starts out with "I begyndelsen af 1800-tallet blev der kniplet ..." - do the first few words of this sentence mean "In the beginning of the 1800s ..." ?
