Hi Susan, Tønder lace is indeed Danish as Jean says, a point ground lace derived from Lille lace from France. This is what I read recently, I believe in the first part of Inge Skovgaard's The Technique of Tønder Lace. Bobbi Donnelly, as Jean says, is the expert on Tønder, would know if I have the right reference, and would be able to tell you if she agrees or not with the derivation from Lille. I can give you Bobbi's email privately if you want--I don't think she would mind.
