Re: [lace] Chantilly-Bayeux
Hi All, The book published by OIDFA on 'Point Ground Lace' gives details of the few differences in Chantilly and Bayeux. While Chantilly seems only to have used silk, white and cream are known as well as the usual black, Bayeux used cotton, linen and silk, not all together. The other differences seem to be in the number of twists in the head or footside and the picots. A very close study would be needed to positively identify an old piece, but that book has all of the answers.

As the lady from Geraarsbergen, who teaches this lace, told me there is no difference. There are little differences between Chantilly and Blonde. And also between the other tulleground-laces. in the 19th century Chantilly lace used to be made in Bayeux by the Lefébure family and it is indeed called Chantilly from Bayeux ny the way it took 10 lacers 10 years to make one of those gorgeous shawls ladies used to wear over their crinolines ..and for those who don't know it Chantilly was made by stretches of about 20cm x 10cm which were then sewn together with an invisible stitch .. as i said in my preceding mail the main differences are * the stitches : they all use tulle ground but Chantilly has only grids in the patterns, Bayeux has grids and clothstitch, Blonde de Caen has cloth stitch only * the threads : Chantilly is only highly twisted black silk , Bayeux is only very fine cotton and blonde de Caen is only blonde silk (don't know the name of it in english .. it's untwisted blonde silk ) it doesn't prevent you from making a black lace with loosely twisted silk and both grids and clothstitch but it won't be chantilly ... nor Bayeux ... just a superb black lace you made with all your heart and that's what counts .. dominique ** L'ADSL A 20 EUR/MOIS** Avec Tiscali, l'ADSL est à 20 EUR/mois.

Subject : [lace] Chantilly-Bayeux Can any one of you knowledgeable lacemakers tell me what the difference between Chantilly Lace and Bayeux lace is. From what I have read they are very similar but yet there has to be a difference, otherwise we wouldn't call each by its name. Miriam Arad, Israel well to my knowledge : Chantilly is made of very fine black silk ( used to be organzine .. a much twisted silk which gave it a matte finish ) Bayeux is made with a very fine cotton thread and there are both grid and cloth stitch in the pattern . there are only grids in Chantilly . so a cotton black lace with cloth stitch in the pattern is Bayeux not Chantilly . dominique from paris . ** L'ADSL A 20 EUR/MOIS** Avec Tiscali, l'ADSL est à 20 EUR/mois.

I think the black silk leaves and flowers in Chantilly lace are absolutely gorgeous. Can anyone recommend a good instruction or pattern book - hopefully that's still in print?
