Comments: This piece is being sold on Italian Ebay – I have no idea what CEST means on the ending time. The piece is definitely not bobbinlace as stated. It caught my notice because it looks like the ‘Romanian Point’ that seems to have caught on so well with needlelace makers in the US. But seems to be mainly crochet – anyway, I thought it was interesting.
