Oh, Dear Antje ! You flatter me! I probably was presumptuous to respond to Lorelei's opinion! I am a lacemaker, and I have a keen eye for detail... However, I am not even close to being as proficient as Lorelei at identifying.
Still, i do recognize the "issue" with cloth stitch in machine made laces, and that is the only thing that made me pipe up to agree! And yes, it is still a beautiful piece. And given that the owner has reason to believe that it was brought over by ancestors, the value is extremely sentimental!
