I don't think this is any kind of knotted lace like macrame - it's hard to
knot metalic threads, and there doesn't seem to be anything about her
movements that indicates she is trying to. I agree, it's some kind of
braiding. Notice how she is handling thre threads, not the bobbins. There
also don't seem to be any pins - putting the threads and bobbins off the
edge of the pillow would be enough to keep a tension. But maybe not keep the
work centered, so there may be pins somewhere.
I have a closeup of this stamp if anyone is interested; just write me a
note.

Seeing the bobbins she uses and that she holds the threads and not the
bobbins, I believe she makes some kind of braiding or Macaramee.
