Both needlelaces, but the stitches are mixed. The tulle areas are tulle stitch from point de gaze. The picot bars are early venetian. The block filling stitches are halas and the diagonal diamond filling stitches and the solid areas are double brussels from venetian gros point. The simple cordonnet is point de gaze. Definately art nouveau style.
I think we could all agree they are worked to a very high standard. Lovely pieces. --- Rochelle Sutherland & Lachlan (9 yrs), Duncan (7 yrs) and Iain (6 yrs) www.houseofhadrian.com.au ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, 9 August, 2007 4:52:37 PM Subject: [lace] Can anyone identify this lace? Gentle Spiders, On my Campaign for Modern Lace Site at the Arachne Webshots, _http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/244348757BRJzVK_ (http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/244348757BRJzVK) there have been two new pictures posted. They are the second and third pictures on that album, the first still shows me. I am looking for more information about their origin, who might have designed them, etc. The second one, possibly a collar, looks like it might have been the work of Hrdlicka, although I can't find the specific pattern among the various ones I have seen published. The first, a fan, featuring a woman in medieval hat and peacocks, I haven't a clue about. Both appear to be needlelace. I would be interested in hearing any ideas.
