There's an interesting set of Honiton lace motifs on Ebay, item#
154510175565. It is labeled "Made by Margery Gaunt". Does anyone recognize
this name? The pieces don't look modern, and if this an archive of a
particular maker, it would be important. Then again, maybe that's just the
person who
Hi Brian
Honiton lace comprised of motifs that were either connected together by
âbridesâ or mounted onto a net ground for making up into the finished
article, so perhaps the term lace sewer is referring to the women whose job
this was?
The term lace worker may have been used interchangeably
Thanks to a reply sent only to me, I have had my attention drawn to the quote
in the Dover edition of Palliser (1914) on p. 417 âThe versatile Japanese
have copied the Honiton method of makin gbobbin lace. The Government have
encouraged a school at Yokohama for pillow lace making, under the
I have found a piece of Honiton lace I made about 15 years ago and which I
thought was lost. Unfortunately it has become slightly discoloured and has a
small stain on it (no idea what). It is a very delicate piece and I would like
to restore it. Any ideas please.

The shapes of bobbins and of pillows was established generations ago, when
lace making was an industry and speed was essential, no matter which type
of lace was being made. Generations of experience are behind the various
styles of bobbins and pillows. In the case of Honiton, the very

If I had seen this photo before I could make lace, I would have admired the
infant Princess only. Now I appreciate the lace too.
There are conventional, pleasing Honiton sprigs attached to a veiling, in
an exceptional, well-composed photograph.

I was in Honiton a year or so back, spent a weekend there. I thought I wrote
a posting to Arachne, but maybe not. The lace shop was definitely closed,
very little traces of it. The museum was open, just winding down for the
season at the time, and well worth a visit. Lots to buy in the shop!
I went many many years ago and was distressed to see they took large pieces of
lace apart to sell in smaller sections. Vivienne
