But all the info booklet says is that the lace is 17th century; how
much of it was of the 3rd decade of that century is unclear, but most
(if not all) of the lace looks to be somewhat later (end of the

There is actually a book of patterns (with diagrams) showing lace from that
time period. It is N. Andries CAROLUSKANTJES. It is lace from the
collection at the church of St. Charles Borromeus in Antwerp. Some are
complex with Flanders ground, Paris ground or random braided ground. But

Hi all,
I know it's been a few days since we talked about the patterns, and I
