This morning I found braids, similar to the lace sample, on bestneedleart.com

The bumpy "catepillar" braid is the one that we've all used in workshops. Then

It looks to me like someone combined techniques. Â There are a few filling
stitches and the picot bars for connecting. But it is primarily Irish Crochet
motifs.

I agree that this does not look like Romanian Point. However, to my
surprise there are indeed needle lace stitches, filling in the loops
where the cord or thinner tape loops around itself just inside the
corrugated, thicker crochet tape around the edge.

As I understand it, Romanian point lace has a tape made by crochet. But the
empty spaces between the tapes are filled with needle lace stitches. This
piece has no needle lace stitches.

Thanks Lorelei, I had never heard of Bruges crochet. Goodness, I'm so glad I
asked the question as I learned another new thing! Regarding the lace, the
owner thinks it is Romanian point lace. I am doubtful. The cording is unusual
& the lace itself is not constructed in the "tape lace" manner
I think it looks like Romanian Point, too. I compared it with the examples in
my book (“Romanian Point Lace” by Angela Thomson and Kathleen Waller) and while
there isn’t anything that’s *exactly* the same, the style of the design, the
undulating cord, the bunches of grapes and the grape leaf pat
Hello Susan and everyone
I found it finally, looked all through your album at Flickr but it is at
the beginning!
Just a guess, it looks like Romanian Point Lace. The grape motif suggests
to me Eastern European origin. I could be way off! but I don't see it as
Irish crochet.

An interesting piece. That wide outer border tape is something used in
something called "Bruges crochet". But I don't think it actually has anything
to do with Bruges. The Irish crochet elements are very interesting, especially
the maple leaf shaped ones.

Hello All! I just posted a scan of a lace mat that belongs to a friend in
Ohio. If anyone has an opinion as to its origin, I would love to know. The
undulating cord, picot bars & Irish crochet motifs are quite robust. The
entire mat is approxiimately 12"x12". Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan

In relation to what Alex was saying about Mechlin and what it meant in the
18th century, I think that Santina Levey says fairly early in her book that
most of the terms we use now were coined by lace dealers in the late 19th and
early 20th century, and would be unrecognizable to people in the era w

As lace type this belongs to the Guipure laces. If it comes from the
region of Mirecourt is verydifficult to decide. So in my opinion it's
better to stay by the lace types than the places they were made.
