The sleeve edging lace appears to be strips sewn together. The headside strip is torchon, the wide inner section is probably torchon, but one of the narrow strips may be Beds (hard to tell, photo not close enough). The lace made at that time would have been, most likely, point ground or Mechlin in the Napoleonic era style (that is, assuming that England followed French fashion). Lorelei
