Thank you to everyone who has had any input in this discussion. It is interesting to read all the different thoughts and view. It has given both myself and my sister much more idea of what she has owned for 32 years and it has been moved from a keepsake box into her knickers draw so she can enjoy looking at it every day. Whilst writing this I have just thought of something she might do in the coming weeks, when she can stop shielding and go back out into the world. The Wardown Museum in Luton is not very far from her home so she can over and visit it and perhaps one of the ladies might be able to show her something like it. Many thanks to all wherever you are in the world, it is a special thing we have on here to help share the beauty of lace of so many kinds. Sue T
I agree with Maria. As I said initially, this is machine-made needlerun on machine-made net. This indeed a form of embroidery on net, which is not usually included in what people mean by "needle-lace". I didn't want to get into an argument about how narrowly or how broadly one defined "needle-lace", since embroidered forms of lace are indeed made by a needle. I'll attach my initial analysis since I never saw that appear on Arachne and maybe was lost in cyberspace.

I find it is no needle lace but machine embroidery on a mechanical tulle. Maria How pretty!
