Auction ends: May 02, 2011 12:32:06 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller elcuadro10, zaragoza, Aragón, Spain
Comments: I’m not entirely sure what this piece looks like because there isn’t a complete photo. But needlelace makers are often interested in ‘Roumanian Point’ lace; there are several books out. It’s interesting to find a more original example for study.

http://tinyurl.com/3q57tf5 ANTIQUE BRUSSELS LACE FLOUNCE -ANTICO PIZZO BRUXELLES-
Size: ~1 yard x ~3 yards 10 inches
Starting price: 350.00 GBP
Auction ends: May 03, 2011 11:34:02 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller fanlady24, Padova, PD, Italy
Comments: I bet a piece of these dimensions was meant for use on a skirt. Some very small holes, one small strong repair.  Interesting design, large scattered motifs very much to scale.  The work is done well, but technique isn’t the finest. Actually, I like it a lot – it does what it is supposed to do.  Can’t tell if the ends are finished, or if this has been cut from a longer piece.

   Sold for 620.00 GBP, 6 bidders.

Comments: Very good long length of mid 19th century Mechlin.  I like the design, naturalistic flowers and leaves.  2 or 3 small holes, but overall very good condition.

Auction ends: May 20, 2011 21:49:50 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller twist-in-time, Philadelphia / DFW, United States
Comments: Large Duchesse fan with a point de gaze needlelace inserts (Duchesse de Bruxelles is one early manufacturer’s name for this kind of lace). Seems to have an interesting tulip design in the needlelace – the bobbinlace is standard Duchesse. Having a hard time seeing the whole design of the lace from the photos. Lace appears in good condition. Nicely carved fan sticks, one tiny broken piece.

    Hi Laurie,

    The description of the first item is incorrect. The translation of the Spanish text is: “doily made in bobbin lace and hemstitch”. As you say in the comment, it is a piece of Romanian Point.

    Regards,

    AGlez
