Size: 9 cm x 21 cm (the 21 cm can’t be right – I bet it’s more like 210 cm)
Starting price: 95.00 GBP
Auction ends: Jun 18, 2011 02:58:37 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller lunnantiques, London, London, United Kingdom
Comments: Good Irish Youghal border, interesting design of flowers and leaves for such a narrow width. It has the typically elaborate Youghal scalloped footside, and a kind of 5-sided bride ground with one picot per bar. I see one minor hole in the photos, otherwise looks very good.

Size: 48″ X 4.5″
Starting price: $150.00
Auction ends: Jun 19, 2011 06:20:20 PDT
Offered by: Maria Niforos, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States
Comments: This has the look of Italian bobbin laces from the Abruzzi region – see plate 312 in Ricci’s Old Italian Lace. At least that’s my guess. The examples in Ricci sometimes show a more elaborate edge than the strait line of picots, and the ground is often more of a 5-hole variation. But there are enough similar examples to make this a possibility. Probably 19th c.

Auction ends: Jun 19, 2011 06:27:34 PDT
Offered by: Maria Niforos, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States
Comments: Border of Honiton lace, combining both a guipure and a grounded pattern. Can’t tell if the ground is needlelace or a point ground. It’s a very funny assembled piece, almost ‘battenberg’ type tapes enclosing Honiton snails/slugs motifs. Condition looks  good, I can’t see any damage from the photos given.

Offered by: Maria Niforos, Ebay seller mithya, London-New York, United States
Comments: Not sure what the 38″ measurement refers to. Hard to tell if this is the size of a bertha. I like the heavily raised petal roses, and  interlaced strapwork at the back. Design is a little dense, but it works. Condition looks very good, seller says it needs a wash.

Comments: Again, this has the look of Italian bobbin laces from the Abruzzi region – see part 8 in Ricci’s Old Italian Lace.  This one has more of a fond chant ground.  Some stains, few small openings.
