Devon Interesting piece. The photo doesn't allow me to see any construction details. But, as to your question, I haven't a clue. I wish we knew more about the detailed history of revival era laces (c. 1900). Turnhout, as I understand it, had a Paris ground. Possibly Michel Bouvot may have something to add. Contact through laceioli. Lorelei
