Offered by: Maria Niforis, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States

Size: lace is 9″ wide
Starting price: 24.99 GBP
Auction ends: Apr 27, 2011 09:44:38 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller discover4, London, United Kingdom
Comments: The design of this fan is rather conventional. Work looks more on the Brugges side than Duchesse. But it is of large size and looks in good condition; a few spots and minor pulls. And it isn’t attached to fan sticks, which I think is a plus.

   Sold for 42.66 GBP, 3 bidders.

Offered by: Ebay seller jennysjunque, Olathe, KS, United States
Comments: Yet another Point de Gaze 4-winged butterfly. This one is quite nice, with an interesting treatment of the clothwork in the wings. Note the stabilizing thread along the top, a nice touch.  Color is a bit strange, don’t know if that’s intentional or just age.

   Sold for $38.00, 2 bidders.

Auction ends: May 21, 2011 21:49:58 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller twistintime, Philadelphia / DFW, United States
Comments: A major Belgian needlelace length, beautiful work. No raised petals, which for me puts this in a much more flexible technical category. Purchased at auction in 1988. Aside from a few pinholes in the mesh, seems in excellent condition.

   Unsold.
