Nathalie, As far as I know it's more col Colbert, which means a certain sort of men's collar high fashioned during that time. In some books one could find that the very early point de France was named point Colbert. And I knew that during 1850/1855 two sisters with the name Bénard which worked for August Lefébure in Bayeux made a "retro" of those laces. With a flowery pattern, very stiff. It was a success as a decoration on dresses. This lace was worked till the early 20th. century and also imitated from other manufactories.
