Re: [lace] Mystery lace
Speaking from a design standpoint, I really like the way those figures that are outlined in braid and then filled in with half stitch add scattered opaque spots to the lace. Looking at the picture of the whole piece, they really do look like snowflakes!

Re: [lace] Mystery lace
Well, if you look at Joseph Seguin’s La Dentelle (avaiable on the Arizona site) Plate XXXVI you might call it Guipure Façon Angleterre, or Guipure Anglaise.They both have the same coiled ground and one of them also has cucumber tallies. Allhallows Museum Honiton has two flounces with this coiled ground which Santina Levey reckoned were English therefore Honiton late 17th C. They are illustrated in John Yallop’s ‘The History of the Honiton Lace Industry’ (the book is his PhD thesis and he was the honorary curator at AllHallows). The Glasgow Museums lace collection also has two pieces with this coiled ground, one of which is very similar to one of the Honiton pieces. Back in 1993 John Yallop told me that the use of the coiled ground is associated with Flanders around 1700 but it may be found at much later dates in Eastern Europe.

Re: [lace] Mystery lace
Devon, Fascinating, crazy piece of tape lace - or at least that's what I'd call it. Which is likely not the answer you really wanted. I wish we could flip it over and see the other side.

Re: [lace] Mystery lace
Hungarian. See"The Art of Lace-making in Hungary" by Maria Csernyanszky, Corvina Press,1962. Budapest.Pictures starting page 51. Details starting page 53. "Lace with Noue (looped) Ornamentation. According to the book, this type of lace may be traced to Flanders, Brussels, and then centered in old Hungarian bobbin lace. In some pieces it was used for ground, and in others was also used in the pattern. Samples of the lace vary from highly skilled to fairly coarse. I have several pieces of this type of lace in my collection and was intrigued. Somewhere in my books I have a modern pattern using this technique that's on my long list of 'someday'. Alice in Oregon -- where I'm hanging out at home doing all kinds of projects. Just finished making a lace hat. Don't know when or where I'll wear it. Next project is a lamp shade. Weather is chilly and often damp. I try to catch the sunny bits to work outdoors.

Re: [lace] mystery lace
Hi Sharon As Clay said, go to http://www.bart-francis.be/ then click on 'online Webshop' then choose your language. Currently you'll get a big message about the server being down for a few days but the catalogue is still there; it's the long list of different threads down the left hand side of the page. Francis' native language is Flemish/Dutch. I don't know how well he speaks/reads French or German but he speaks very good English. Although some his English spelling is a bit quaint it's quite understandable and there is a lot of useful info on the site as well as the catalogue. Wow, I'm blown away..240/2 thread? I must have some if only to look at :) Guess I don't get enough catalogues :( Brenda..would you be so kind as to post the addy (e-mail or otherwise) of the supplier Bart and Francis? Thanks.
