Dear lacers, While we were out shopping for last minute props and costumes for the HS musical this past weekend, we were at a flea market and I always hastely glance for any lace paraphenalia. I managed to rescue this cluny lace insertion. It measures 52 inches long and 3 and 3/4th inches wide. I believe it is handmade because the leaf tallies are pointed on both ends(unlike barmen machine lace as referenced to me from a previous post) and you can see where the starter pins were and the lacemaker had tied the thread ends together in knots on the other end. It desparately needs a good washing! If you know of the pattern or think it might be some other type of lace, please let me know. Below are some closeups of the lace:
