I was looking at the sample provided by Nathalie and wondered if it were
Borris Lace, an Irish needlelace that Annette Meldrum wrote a book about.
Maybe she could comment. The book is called The Borris Lace Collection: A
Unique Irish Needlelace.

Hello
What are the distinguishing features of Borris lace, Branscombe, Battenberg
and princesse? The last one I can usually recognize. But I am no expert on
the laces made with a machine made tape. I know Battenberg is usually
considered quite crude. Are there other styles of mixed tape lace
Hi all.
It is similar to Borris Tape lace but it does look a little stiff! Borris
lace is usually more flowing in design but otherwise the fillings are
reflective and square mesh ground is characteristic. The Point de Venice
edging is also characteristic.
As it has no bars with picots it is not
I agree with Jane Partridge. The picots look right as well. A similar lace
constructed of machine-made tapes with needle-lace fillings was made in
France, but their picots were different.
Happy lace making,

I'm thinking it could be Branscombe, although the tape is fairly wide, it
looks right and the needlelace fillings look intricate enough and certainly
include some of the 'traditional' ones.

Does anyone knows this type of tape lace?
It is part of a 19th century christening veil.
Thank you beforehand for your advice.

Sorry forgot to add that I was referring to the edge picots.

Although it has some nice needlelace fillings I donât think itâs from
Branscombe. My understanding of Branscombe lace is that it always includes
the little nibs on the bars and sometimes around the edge. Nibs are a type of
picot made by working buttonhole stitches over a loop of thread.
