RE: [lace] Maltese lace on e.bay

2006-10-22 Thread Elizabeth Pass
It looks to me much like the sort of needle lace that is exported all over
the world from China.  I bought a very nice circular table cloth when I was
in Australia, at quite a modest price considering the amount of hours that
would have gone into the making of it.

This is definitely not Maltese lace.

there is another table cloth on e.bay that purports to have Maltese lace
about it but the lace looks to me to be needle lace. I could be wrong as I
am no expert on lace recognition, but I definitely don't think it is Maltese

[lace] Maltese lace on e.bay

2006-10-21 Thread Jenny De Angelis
there is another table cloth on e.bay that purports to have Maltese lace 
about it but the lace looks to me to be needle lace. I could be wrong as I 
am no expert on lace recognition, but I definitely don't think it is Maltese 
at all.What do others think of it.


The table cloth is a huge one and is entitled Irish Linen Banqueting Cloth 
Maltese Lace Ecru.   The number for the item is 150048470968


It is a beautiful cloth but I don't think the description of the lace is 
correct. The seller says it was bought from an old Irish family and the 
Irish make needle laces.   It seems only natural that this cloth is made up 
with Irish Needle lace of one kind or another and the lace certainly looks 
to me like needle lace of some kind.


I found this cloth by just making a search of the whole e.bay site for 
Maltese Lace, there are some beautiful pieces that come up as a result of 
such a search but some of them are doubtful in their descriptions about 
being  made with Maltese lace.

I would say this is Needle lace fillings in Roman Cutwork or 
Richelieu. Still a nice cloth though

Why do you tempt me like this :)
