To me this lace has the characteristics of a very simple Chantilly -
couldn't that be a Tulle ground? The motifs are outlined in gimp and look
like half stitch (not linen) and there are picots on the edge - all
essential to Chantilly. Chantilly was made by machine as early as the
1870's.

Subject: [lace] Ipswich Lace on eBay?
There is currently a listing on eBay for a length of black lace. It is
very simple in design, and seems to be fairly unevenly worked - signalling
the likelihood that it is handmade. It is being sold from Pennsylvania.
I wonder if this is some Ipswich lace?
Does anyone out there know enough about this lace to make a judgement on
that?

Thanks for your ideas on this. I'm totally "in the dark" when it comes to
Ipswich.
