Offered by: Ebay seller georginanntiques, London, United Kingdom
Comments: Condition is everything on a piece like this, and the machine made lace has held up very well.  I almost wonder if this might be Honiton. The motifs seem a bit large, and the pattern a little too symmetric for Belgian work.  And the tally fillings are extensive, not really typical of Brussels applique. Not sure. Seller cites a few small spots, but otherwise excellent condition.

Comments: Beautiful Duchesse de Bruxelles handkerchief. The bobbinlace is difficult to do on the small scale such an item demands. Raised petal roses, I see a few tiny holes in the needlelace reseau. But overall the lace is in good condition. Nasty stain in the handkerchief linen or cotton or whatever it is.

Comments: Another very good handkerchief from this seller. A few age spots. Bobbinlace is quite fine, needlelace has no raised roses. Very simple fillings at the centers of the corner roses.  Condition, aside from come discolaration, looks very good. Note the rounded shape of the roses – sign of a particular manufacturer, but I don’t know which one.

Comments: Duchesse flounce, very densely packed design. A few broken brides, but overall looks in good condition, a little worn.  Maybe a few needlelace rings in the centers of some flowers, but nothing extensive. This lace stands on its own.

Comments: Belgian needlelace, no raised petals on the roses, and including some good filligns. Some of the very best Belgian needlelace is of this type, and you can see hints of potential in this one. It’s a very good piece, but rather the worse for wear. Some holes in the ground and center cloth. Just looks a little worn.

Comments: Seems to be the week for Point de Gaze butterflies, and I’m putting two together here. Both are double wing, although on the second one, the upper layer only goes halfway. Both have some small stains. For pure Point de Gaze technique, I’ll give it to the first one, but both are quite good examples. Condition, apart from the staining, is mostly good, although the second one has a hole in the net on the lower wing. Photos on the second listing take forever to download.

Comments: Very interesting piece.  Multilayered roses, fine quality work. Note the veining in the rose petals, I’ve never seen this pattern before.  Minimal use of needlelace fillings, but it really stands on its own. It also keeps the reseau to a minimum, resulting in a sort of Point de Gaze guipure. Looks in excellent condition, very minor defects..

Comments: A mystery pillow. I show the thumbnail below because it has a view of the base. There is a small roller set into a box in the center of the pillow. If it weren’t for that I’d say Wallonie. As it is, it looks a little Swedish. Or maybe a French Normandy variation? But the bobbins are French, Le Puy style (in the boxes). And it’s being sold from Belgium. Anway, I’d say it’s an early 20th century piece.  Looks in basically good condition.
