Thank you Tamamara for this very interesting discussion on the origins of bobbin lace. My grasp of European history his very tenuous but the connections between the Royal families of the various countries might be a clue to the way knowledge of lace making spread from Spain or the Low Countries to Venice. e.g. was a royal daughter from either area married off to a royal in Venice? And therefore took her lace-embellished finery with her? Best wishes Margaret in Armidale, NSW
