Possibly, but I am not an authority. There is bobbin lace made in villages in the north. A few years ago I purchased a stole / table runner from a market in Rio de Janeiro that looked like pictures of Brazilian lace displayed on a web site that is no longer available. However, it looks very much like the lace in the background on http://campatlas.wetpaint.com/page/Fairloom+of+Boulder
Definitely more flamboyant than this dress! But different villages may specialise in different styles of lace. Lace Fairy has an article on Brazilian lace with pictures of the lace makers and their equipment. Unfortunately, most of the links to lace sites are broken. http://lace.lacefairy.com/Lace/International/Brazil.html Sorry, not much help <g> Jay in Sydney -----Original Message----- From: owner-l...@arachne.com [mailto:owner-l...@arachne.com] On Behalf Of Maxine Diffey Sent: Saturday, 5 March 2011 10:06 AM To: Lace digest Subject: [lace] Too good to be true Thought folks may be interested in this auction http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=359055372 Do you think this is authentic? Maxine in wet and cooling NZ - we needed the rain where I am!! Just hope it is not raining in Christchurch. I would rather walk with God in the dark than go alone in the light.
