[lace] Care and Restoration of Lace

I have the book “A manual of Lace” by Jeanette E Pethebridge, published in 1947 by Cassell Co. Ltd. I was lucky enough to buy this from a second hand bookshop for £5. I have to admit that I had not really looked thoroughly through this book until it was mentioned on Arachne. There are patterns

[lace] book in the latest issue of Kant

Hi Sue, Le mouchoir en dentelle de valenciennes, isn't really a book, it is a these made in the 3th year of the teacherscourse in the Kantcentrum by Rosanna Orgiu and Elisabeth Dejonghe. It doesn't contain patterns, only history, and it is not translated in english. I do have this this thesis.

[lace] expensive bobbin

Just thought some of you might like to see the most expensive bobbin in the world! It sold last night for $511.77! I'm not making any comment about the value of this bobbin (heck - I had a bid of $20 on the thing early on - so what do I know?? ;)) It really is quite elegant, and has a story

Re: [lace] expensive bobbin

I like the way the seller assumes from the presence of the coin on which the back has been smoothed down and engraved L Battery, R.H.A. Nery, Sept. 1, 1914. Battery implies that the bobbin was given by a survivor of the battle to his sweetheart. This is what separates the successful antique

Re: [lace] expensive bobbin

Actually, not. This is not the most expensive bobbin in the world. When I commissioned Stuart Johnson to make Sylvia the bone and 18 Kt. gold bobbins and then had to have 18Kt gold beads made to spangle them, I thought they were the most expensive bobbins in the world. Then Brian Lemmin told me

Re: [lace] miracourt lace? no .. mirecourt

Elizabeth Kurella's book calls it Miracourt, but I have also seen it called Catherine of Aragon. One thing IS certain it is called Mirecourt lace . Mirecourt is a village somewhere in eastern France ... can't remember where at the moment ... i've always been bad at geography ...:-(((

Tamara, the seller was in Richmond, *not* the buyer. For those who don't know, the Valentine is in Richmond... There used to be lacemakers in Richmond and around Richmond. Back in the 80s, they hosted a Chesapeake Regional Lace Day in Richmond (it was just outside Richmond at Short Pump). I
