Re: [lace] Lace identification
Hi Sue, How pretty! And what a good photo -- the details are quite clear when enlarged. It is needle-run lace, embroidery on net. The net is machine-made, and the embroidery is also almost certainly done by machine although I wouldn't claim to be 100% sure unless I could see the back. It is a very nice one, which would lead me to date it to the late 1800s. As I say, it is a particularly nice example of this kind of lace -- a beautiful design and well executed.

Re: [lace] Waddesdon bobbins.
The archaeologist in me says that if the bobbins have a distinctive look, to the point that you could look at one and identify it as coming from that particular region, it’s a “regional type”. However, based on what I’ve understood from your post, unless the lace is equally distinctive, I don’t know that I’d classify the *lace* as a separate type. In archaeology we do this all the time; spindles can be classified by type, but spindle type doesn’t necessarily map directly to the yarn types spun with those spindles, or with the cloth woven from those yarns.

[lace] Lace identification
Hi lacemakers one and all. I hope you are all safe and well, many of the lacemakers I know will have been busy making lace in lockdown to keep themselves, busy, calm and comfortable. What a joy to be able to. My sister just sent me two images of a lace handkerchief that she bought during 1988 in the Kings Road London England, just before she got married, as her something old. She knows nothing about lace except it is beautiful. She recently took it out of where ever it has been laying for all these years and saying how much she loves it and how she is also beginning to appreciate the skill that goes in to making it. I offered to ask someone in this site if they can identify it for us. I have two photographs, the one that she has taken of it lying flat not folded and able to look at the really large image of the delicate lace and my thinking is that it looks more like needle lace on a mesh. Any offers to check it out for me would be greatly appreciated, but I am not able to get it on flickr.
