I have followed, with great interest, an auction on eBay for a
beautiful piece of Binche lace which appeared to be a relatively
recent piece. The auction ended today, with the handkerchief
selling for nearly $500. As someone who has made several Binche
handkerchief edgings (although none as stunning as this one...) I
must say that while the price paid was high, the wages earned by the
lacemaker were still appallingly low. Still, I am encouraged by the
fact that the lace we make is becoming more valued! While I suspect
that a lacemaker has bought this piece (I was tempted !), it is
clear that our own valuation of our work helps drive up the market!!

Most interesting Clay. Now why don't we flood the market with that
design ? :) Got a spare 3 months?
