Re: [lace] spangled lace
I would agree. Contact Gil Dye who is very knowledgeable about this type of lace. She has written several books on the subject. She also has a website, Maureen East Yorkshire UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] spangled lace
I agree, it's an early lace / prior to the 1600s. One of the tells is the spangles, in that they aren't round, but tear-dropped shaped. The whole point is to add sparkle. Imagine a gown trimmed with that lace in candle light! Beth McCasland in sunny and warm (!) Seattle On Tue, Jun 1, 2021 at 2:09 PM N.A.

Re: [lace] spangled lace
What a find! Certainly looks early to me. Last year I did some yardage (from a pattern in Rosemary Shepherd’s Early Lace Workbook) and the cushion motifs and the method of work look very familiar! If I remember correctly, the pattern I worked was dated to the early 1600s.
