I'm not clever enough to know the answer, only that it is not one of the
types of lace that I make myself. However, there are lots of experts at

It looks like Irish crochet, most likely imitating gros point de
Venise needle lace or the like.
Beyond Pat Earnshaw's books, which are great for finer earlier laces
but not more modern cheaper laces, a book I find easy to use for quick
lace id is:
Guide to Lace and Linens, by Elizabeth M.
Excactly what i would say, i also looked in Pat Earnshaws book, but there
was none like this. But i think you are quite right with this!

No need to apologize, I'm just a fresh set of eyes looking at it. I'm sure you
would have realized it eventually. I can't wait to see the finished product!

I think that you have a good idea about the skirt but you may be a bit off base
on the necklace. If you look closely at the vertical elements you can see they
form the initials I and H. In period it was common/fashionable to wear the

I'm not a lace expert, but I do have a Lace Dictionary published in 1913. I
went through the whole book,
If you hadnt told me, i would never have guessed because i was so sure about
the S and Queen Sofie.
