Hello!
Does anyone knows the name of the design of this lace?
I thought this Italian lace with boy and girl has a specific name.

Historically the Italian bobbin laces are Genoese (the source for Cluny), a
braid/plait based straight lace, Milanese tape lace and simpler peasant tape
laces. Modern Italian lace seems to be 90% tape lace of the kind which uses a
constant number of bobbins (no adding or removing pairs). The

They throw at their own hands. From my observations they now and then make a
cloth stitch, spread their hands with these pairs, and continue with a twist

I suppose it is for fixing tension as they put only pins at the edges
Dear Sue
It seems to me that you have got to get a sight of this lace before starting or
you risk not matching at all given all the different potential styles of
Italian lace. When I was on holdiay this year, we visited the lace museum at
Rapallo which contained every style of lace going, and
I would agree with you on that one! I know that this is a suprise for
the owner of the tablecloth. Maybe there is someone who is in on the
gift that can see about borrowing the tablecloth for a bit and
either get you clear photos of the lace or can get it to you to see.

Can anyone help give me an idea of the type of lace made in Italy, as a
general rule, in the making of tablecloths. I want to make table napkin
edgings for someone who has a lace tablecloth bought from Italy about 20 years
ago. I have never seen it and it needs to be done in secret:-) I do know
I believe the Italians do Reticella lace and Milanese lace.

In a village in the Aosta valey (in the Alps) they are traditionally making
some kind of free-hand lace, at least pins only at headside and footside.
The bulbs of the bobbins are between 1 and 2 inch wide. Occasioanally they
throw them.

position starting in January. I will be able to visit him for maybe 2 weeks
