Size: 12″ long, 24.5″ wide when open
Starting Price: 0.99 GBP
Auction ends: Jan 08, 2012 11:35:39 PST
Seller: Ebay seller dayespast, DN14 6FE, United Kingdom
Comments: This seller is offering 5 fans in separate lots – I’ll only review one of them, but see Ebay #230726246988, #330666623778 (interesting tulip design), #230726251872, and #230726269310. They are all Duchesse with Mother of Pearl sticks. Lace on all looks in good shape, various damage to the sticks. Some have boxes. This is a very typical, middle market type of fan, and many survive today in good shape. Fairly conventional design of Duchesse bobbin lace motifs.

   Sold for 150.00 GBP, 11 bidders.

Seller: Ebay seller adtjmd, RED VELVET BENCH, United States
Comments: A deep Rosaline collar. The motifs are fairly large for this lace, without perls. Very simple straight connections; but mostly the motifs but against each other. The design is a bit scattered – hard to see the symmetry but it is there. Looks in very good condition, I don’t see any major problems from the photos.

Seller: Ebay seller adtjmd, RED VELVET BENCH, United States
Comments: I don’t normally review embroidered net pieces, but I thought this one was quite good. Heavily embroidered net, lots of running stitches and a few fillings.  It’s basically a rectangular shawl, with good design all the way around, and accents in the corner.  Nice large sprigs throughout the inner net. The flowers have a kind of thistley look, but I don’t know where it comes from. Seller cites some discolaration, a few small breaks and small repairs. Overall the condition looks good.

Seller: Ebay seller adtjmd, RED VELVET BENCH, United States
Comments: This is an unusual piece. Brussels bobbinlace application on machine net. But the bottom of half of the net looks like it has a larger mesh than the top half. (see how that jagged seam runs through the top half but not the bottom part. Note the unusual large open areas in the motifs. Overall I find the lace a little, well, coarse might be a good word. But it makes a nice flounce. Condition, especially of the net, looks very good.

Comments: A Brussels Duchesse handkerchief with Point de Gaze inserts in the corners. The design of both the bobbin and needlelace is very simple, no raised work in the needlelace.  Lace looks a little puckered, maybe washed? But overall very good condition.

Seller: Ebay seller discover4, London, United Kingdom
Comments: I love the bizarre motifs on this border, as if it is an early attempt to really imitate Gros Point. I can’t get a good look at the brides, or the header edge, so am not really sure if everything is original. But the width is consistent throughout. It is a bit outside the norm. Condition looks pretty good from the photos.

Comments: The large motifs with a kind of tape-lace construction gives this away as Honiton applique on machine net. The condition looks very good, I don’t see any problems from the photos. It’s a nice, bold design, much in keeping with what was going on with Blonde de Caen in France.

Comments: A small triangular Brussels application on machine net. Good naturalistic flower, some done in needlelace. A dense pattern on the lower edge all around, with esprits in the top net.  It is a bit worn, some holes in the machine net. It has a very romantic feel, and the lace itself looks nice on the black dress background.
